SWCA, Inc., Environmental Consultants, conducted testing and data recovery at Site AZ G:10:8(ASM), the Hackberry Townsite, to mitigate potential impacts from construction of the Mead to Phoenix 500kV Transmission Line (the Mead to Phoenix Project). The Mead to Phoenix Project, currently under construction, is one link in a proposed regional power grid (Rogge and O’Brien 1990). SWCA conducted a program of testing and data recovery to clear construction at the Hackberry Townsite, the subject of...

SWCA, Inc., Environmental Consultants (SWCA), conducted a comprehensive Class III archaeological survey of expanded right-of-way at ten point-of-turn towers as part of ongoing cultural resources compliance for the Mead to Phoenix 500kV Transmission line project. These activities constituted only one phase of cultural resource compliance for this project undertaken by SWCA for Salt River Project (SRP). Other phases relevant to this project include relocation and re-evaluation (Anduze and Sorrel...

Salt River Project is constructing a 500kV transmission line along a 250-mile right-of-way from the Marketplace Substation to the Mead Substation, both near Boulder City, Nevada, to the Westwing Substation northwest of Phoenix, Arizona, near Sun City. The right-of-way is adjacent to and parallels the existing Mead to Liberty 345kV Transmission Line for most of the project area. A 200-foot right-of-way was previously surveyed by the Museum of Northern Arizona (Keller 1986). The present project...

Salt River Project constructed a 500kV transmission line from Boulder City, Nevada, to near Phoenix, Arizona, during which SWCA, Inc., Environmental Consultants, monitored construction at 20 previously recorded archaeological sites. Monitoring took the form of damage assessments at six sites and one non-site location, active monitoring of construction at 15 sites, inspections of site conditions and reflagging at two sites, and examination of possible human remains and monitoring at one location...

Salt River Project is constructing a 500kV transmission line from Boulder City, Nevada, to near Phoenix, Arizona. During the course of cultural resource compliance projects undertaken by SWCA for SRP, construction access roads were surface collected of artifacts at three archaeological sites. A fourth site was to be surface collected, but only a single artifact was found in areas of potential impact; it was analyzed in-field.

Western Area Power Administration (Western), Salt River Project (SRP), Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) and M-S-R Public Power Agency (Modesto-Santa Clara-Redding) propose to construct, operate and maintain a ±500kV direct current (DC) transmission line from the Phoenix area in Arizona to the Mead Substation near Boulder City, Nevada (see Figure 2-1). The proposal includes a ±500kV DC transmission line, two terminal facilities, associated communication facilities, and ground...

The purpose of this study was to project the levels of archaeological and historical sensitivity and determine relative levels of impacts that could potentially occur with the introduction of the proposed Mead to Phoenix ±500kV DC Transmission Line. The results of the regional study, conducted from July through September of 1982, identifies previously recorded archaeological and historical sites, predicts areas where encountering sites are probable and establishes criteria to determine the...

The following document presents the results of a cultural resources compliance survey conducted by SWCA, Inc., Environmental Consultants, at Hackberry, Mohave County, Arizona, and a research design for data recovery along the proposed Hackberry reroute of the preferred alignment of the proposed Mead to Phoenix 500kV transmission line. The project was undertaken to reroute the proposed line because Western Area Power Administration (Western) was unable to secure the original proposed right-of-way...
