The proposed expansion of the Copper Cities tailing pond which is located immediately west of Pinal Creek will endanger a section of an existing Salt River Project transmission line. As a result, a change in the route of the line has become necessary. Both the tower locations and the access to the tower sites will involve lands not previously subjugated. The present investigations have been conducted to determine whether or not the new construction will impact archaeological resources. A...
An Archaeological Survey of the Salt River Project 12kV and 22kV Distribution/Transmission Line System, Tonto Basin, Arizona (2001)
