In 2019, the Salt River Project (SRP) plans to decommission the Navajo Generating Station (NGS) and associated Ash Disposal Area (ADA), located east of Page, Coconino County, Arizona (Figure 1). Prior to the decommissioning, SRP sponsored cultural resources surveys (Marshall 2018a; Spurr 2017) to record archaeological sites within the NGS and ADA. These efforts supplement previous archaeological investigations (Mueller and Fiero 1971; Pilles 1969). As a result of the recent surveys, Spurr (2017)...
Archaeological Investigations Along the Navajo-McCullough Transmission Line, Southern Utah and Northern Arizona (1978)
Since the Glen Canyon Project, eastern stretches of the Utah-Arizona border have become increasingly well known. From the Glen Canyon Dam west, however, few sites have been excavated. During 1972-73, the Museum of Northern Arizona surveyed a 500 kV transmission line transect from the Navajo Generating Station at Page, Arizona, to the Nevada border southwest of St. George, Utah. The line continues from the Nevada border to the McCullough Switching Station south of Boulder City, Nevada. This...

A Class I Cultural Resource Records Review for the Navajo Generating Station Water Intake Maintenance Project near Page, Coconino County, Arizona (2004)
SRP proposes to undertake a maintenance project on the water intake system for the Navajo Generating Station (NGS) near Page, Coconino County, Arizona (Figure 1). The purpose of the project is to ensure the future availability of cooling water for NGS operations due to the continuing decrease of the water surface elevation of Lake Powell associated with the ongoing drought. The full pool elevation of Lake Powell is 3,700 feet above sea level. Current projections indicate the lake surface...
