GDOT project NH-IM-95-1(118) in Glynn County consists of Phase I of a two-phase widening project along Interstate 95. Project NH-IM-95-1(118) proposes to widen 7.16 miles of 1-95 from a 4-lane facility to a 6-lane facility, and to widen seven existing bridges along the corridor. All work would be completed within existing 1-95 right-of-way and no additional right-of way would be required for this project. An archaeological survey (Level II) 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. 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 archaeological resources on or eligible for inclusion in the NRHP provided that the project conforms to that described above.
