The proposed project consists of the paving of 0.6 m (2 ft) of the existing shoulders along SR 168. The project would begin at the intersection of SR 135 in Berrien County and would end at the intersection of SR 37 in Clinch County. No additional right-of-way would be required for the completion of _he proposed project. An archaeological survey consistent with the protect description was conducted along the entire 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 Section 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 proposed highway projects and are followed during the initial identification of archaeological resources. No existing or eligible National Register archaeological resources were located within the project's area of potential environmental effect. It is concluded, therefore, that the project will have no effect upon.
