The project consists of the replacement of improvements to a storm drainage system and catch basins. Ground disturbance within the APE consisted of the excavation of trenches and pits of various lengths, widths, and depths. Excavation was conducted mechanically with backhoes and by hand with shovels and picks. All ground-disturbing activities within the project site and 250 ft. of its boundaries were monitored. The project was conducted under the direction of Mark Chenault (project manager) and...

SRP plans construction of a new irrigation pipeline along the south side of Lehi Road, necessitating the relocation of water and gas service lines by the City of Mesa. A Class III cultural resources survey of the project area was conducted prior to ground-disturbing activities associated with the service line relocations (Marshall 2020). Despite the negative results of the pedestrian survey, the previous records review demonstrated the potential for significant buried deposits in the project...

"In November 2004, an Archaeologist from Brockington and Associates, Inc., observed shore stabilization activities at 38SA1, to document any disturbed cultural deposits. The plan for stabilization proposed by Dyck and Bailey (2004) was used as an outline for activities. Minor changes to the plan were implemented that were less intrusive that those proposed in Dyck and Bailey (2004)."
