Abstract

This project would widen S.R. 41/U.S. 1 to 4 lanes from the existing 3-lane section south of Spirit Creek to the existing 4-lane section at Tobacco Road. The project is approximately two miles long. A survey consistent with this corridor was conducted. An archaeological survey (Level I) was conducted within the project corridors in accordance with "GDOT Archaeological 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 significant archaeological resources were located within the proposed project corridor as described in paragraph two above. 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.
