A Cultural Resource Survey for the Proposed Southwest Valley 500kV Transmission Line Project, Maricopa County, Arizona

Author(s): Kris Dobschuetz; Glenn Darrington

Year: 2002

Summary

The proposed project consists of approximately 37 miles of 500 kilovolt (kV) transmission line to interconnect electric generation resources in the west valley with the existing 230kV system in the metropolitan Phoenix area. Also, the proposed 500kV transmission line will be double circuited with a 230kV transmission line for approximately 10 miles. The double­ circuit 500/230kV transmission line will extend between the proposed Southwest Valley Substation to the existing Liberty Substation, and consolidate a portion of a future APS transmission project with this project. The Southwest Valley Project also includes a new 500/230kV substation (Southwest Valley Substation) and interconnections with the Palo Verde-Kyrene 500kV transmission line and the APS West Phoenix- White Tanks 230kV transmission line. Typical right-of-way widths for this project will vary from 130 feet to 200 feet. At a minimum, a 250-foot­wide corridor was intensively surveyed for cultural resources.
