CSSTP-0007-00(362) would consist of upgrading traffic signals at 3 locations in Baldwin County to improve traffic flow. The new traffic signals will be installed at the following intersections: SR 243/S. Wayne Street at W. Andrews Street, SR 243/S. Wayne Street at Vinson Highway, and SR 29 at SR 49/W. Hancock Street. All work will take place within the existing rights-of-way. An archaeological survey consistent with the proposed project description was conducted along the entire length of the project corridor. An archaeological survey (Level I) was conducted in accordance with "GDOT/FHWA Cultural Resource Survey Guidelines" developed by the GDOT Staff Archaeologists in consultation with DNR Historic Preservation Division Staff and concurred in by the Federal Highway Administration and State Historic Preservation Officer. These guidelines provide general survey boundaries and methodological approaches to archaeological surveys based on the type/scope of work of proposed highway projects and are followed during the initial identification of archaeological resources. By agreement, because no archaeological resources were located within the project's area of potential environmental effect, no signed concurrence from the State Historic Preservation Office is required. It is concluded, therefore, that the project will have no effect upon archaeological resources on or eligible for inclusion in the NRHP provided that the project conforms to that described above.
