The proposed project will grade drain, base, and surface CR 44/Dunn Rd. in Hancock County. The existing section consists of an unimproved dirt road with a variable width (20' to 24') travel surface. The proposed section would consist of two 12' triple surface treated-lanes with 5' rural shoulders. The existing right-of-way is 80'. There will be no additional right-of-way required for this project. The total length of this project is 1.14 miles. An archeological survey (Level II) was conducted in accordance with "GDOT/FHWA Cultural Resource Survey Guidelines" developed by the GDOT Staff Archeologists 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 archeological surveys based on the type/scope of work of proposed highway projects and are followed during the initial identification of archeological resources. No existing or eligible National Register resources were located within the project's area of potential environmental effect. It is concluded, therefore, that the project will have no effect upon archeological resources on or eligible for inclusion in the NRHP provided that the project conforms to that described above.
