NEER's review of the Applicalion for Payment and lhe
accompanying data and schedules lhat the Work has pro-
gressed to lhe point indicated: that. to the best of ENGI-
NEER's knowledge. information and belief. the quality of
lhe Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents

Section SA and SB, except 3B-3 and 3B-5, of the MUTeD are required on all courses before the
roadway is opened to traffic. No passing zones shall be marked to conform to Section 150.04 E. During
construction and maintenance activities on all highways open to traffic, both existing markings and
markings applied under this Section shall be fully maintained Until Final Acceptance. If the pavement
markings are, or become, unsatisfactory in the judgement of the Engineer due to wear, weathering,
or construction activities, they shall be restored immediately. On resurfacing projects pavement
markings shall be provided on all surfaces that are placed over existing markings. On widening and
reconstruction projects (where the lane configuration is altered from the pre-construction layout)
pavement markings wi)) be as required by the Plans or the Engineer. On new construction projects
pavement marking plans wi)) be provided.
B. MA TERlAI.S: All traffic striping applied under this Section shall be a minimum four .inches in width
and shall conform to the requirements of Section 652, except as modified herein. Raised pavement
markers (RPMs) shall meet the requirements of Section 654. Markings on the final surface course
which must be removed shall be a removable type. The Contractor will be permitted to use paint,
thermoplastic, or tape on pavement which is to be overlaid as part of the project, unless otherwise
directed by the Engineer. Partial (skip) reflectorization (i.e. reflectorizing only a portion of a stripe)
will not be allowed. .
C. USAGE: The Contractor shall sequence the work in such a manner as to allow the installation of
markings in the final lane configuration at the earliest possible stage.
Inappropriate or conflicting existing pavement markings shall be removed.
When shifting of traffic necessitates removal of centerline,lane lines, or edge lines, all such lines shall
be removed prior to, during, or immediately after any change so as to present the least interference
with traffic.
Before any change in. traffic lane(s) alignment, marking removal equipment shall be present on the
project for immediate use. If marking removal equipment failures occur, the equipment shall be
repaired or replaced (including leasing equipment if necessary). sa that the removal can be
accomplished without delay.
Except for the final surface, markings on asphaltic concrete may be obliterated by an overlay course,
when approved by the Engineer. When an asphaltic con.crete overlay is placed for the sole purpose
of eliminating conflicting markings and the in place asphaltic concrete section will allow, said overlay
will be eligible for payment only if designated in the Plans. Overlays to obliterate lines will be paid
for only once and further traffic shifts in the same area shall be accomplished with removable
markings. Only the minimum asphaltic concrete thickness required to cover lines (generally 60 IbJsq.
yd. of Asphaltic Concrete "H") will be allowed. Excessive build-up will not be permitted. When an
overlay for the sole purpose of eliminating conflicting markings is not allowed, the markings no .longer
applicable shall be removed in accordance with Subsection 656.02. The elimination of conflicting
pavement markings by overpainting wit.h paint or liquid asphalt is not acceptable.
D. Raised pavement markers (RPMs) are required as listed below for all asphaltic concrete pavements
before the roadway is open to traffic. When Portland Cement Concrete is an intermediate or final
surface and is open to traffic, one calendar day is allowed for cleaning and drying before the
installation of RPMs is required.

of Chapter 16 of Title 12 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, the
Georgia Environmental Policy Act (GEPA), of 1991. In compliance with GEPA,
those projects for which Federal funding is sought, and NEPA compliance is
accomplished, are exempt from the requi!ements of GEPA.
GEPA requires that environmental documentation be accomplished for County
or City projects if more than 50 percent of the total project cost is funded
by a grant of a State Agency or a grant of more than $250,000 is made by the
State Agency to the municipality or County. The "responsible official of
the government agency shall determine if a proposed governmental action 1s.
a proposed governmental action which may significantly adversely affect the
quality of the environment".
A.
THE ~OLLOWING PROJECTS 'WOULD NOT SIGNIFICANTLY ADVERSELY AYFECT THE
QUALITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT:
Non-land disturbing activities and minor land di~turbing activities
which would not be anticipated to significantly adversely affect the
quality of the environment include the following Ust. These types
of projects funded with state money would not be subject to environmental
assessment of any kind. Hearing procedures outlined in GEPA would not
be applicable.
1.
Minor roadway and non-historic bridge projects.
a.
Modernization of an existing highway by resurfacing, restoration,
rehabilitation, adding shoulders, widening a single lane or
less in each direction, and the addition of a median within
previously disturbed existing right-of-way.
Adding auxiliary l~nes for localized purposes (weaving, climbing,
speed changes, etc.), and correcting substandard curves and
intersections within previously disturbed existing right-of-
way. ~

4. Highway landscaping and landscape modification, rest area projects
and truck weigh stations within previously disturbed existing right-
of way.
S. Construction of bus shelters and bays within existing right-of-way.
6. Temporary replacement of a highway facility which is commenced
immediately after the occurrence of' a natural disaster or
catastrophic failure to restore the highway for the health. 'we1fare.
and safety of the public.
THE FOLLOWING PROJECTS HAY NOT SIGNIFICANTLY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE QUALITY
OF THE ENVIRONMENT:
,
For projects which will cause land disturbance and for which there is
no anticipation that the project may significantly adversely affect
the quality of the environment. certain studies will be undertaken.
These studies would serve to document whether or not the County or
municipality should anticipate that a project might significantly
adversely. affect the quality of the environment. Documentation of the
studies will be accomplished through he use of the "GEPA Investigation
Studies" checklist.
The types of project which would fall under the category would include:
1. Bridge replacement project on new location or with a detour bridge.
w~ere there are no significant adverse impacts to historic or
archaeological resources, no involvement. with Federally listed
threatened and endangered species and no significant adverse impact
to wetlands. .
2. Passing lanes, median additions and widening proj'ects. where there
are no significant adverse impacts to historic or archaeological
resources. no involvement with Federally listed threatened and
endangered spec~es and no significant adverse impact to wetlands.
3. Safety and intersection improvements where there are no significant
adverse impacts to historic. or archaeological resources. no
involvement with Federally listed threatened and endangered species
and no significant adverse impact to wetlands.
4. Rest area projects and truck weight stations w1th no purchase of
additional right-of-way.
S. New location projects where there are no significant adverse impacts
to his~oric or archaeological resources. no involvement w~th
Federally listed threatened and endangered species and no significant
adverse impact to wetlands.
