Phase 1 Data Testing at AZ U:15:1(REC) on Private Land and Mapping of Historic Architecture at AZ AA:3:215(ASM) and AZ U:16:303(ASM) on Federal Land near Ashurst-Hayden Diversion Dam, Pinal County, Arizona: Photo Log

Summary

As authorized under the Arizona Water Settlements Act of 2004, the San Carlos and Irrigation Drainage District (SCIDD) is undertaking a 10-year rehabilitation project of its irrigation system. SCIDD is the non-Indian irrigation component of the San Carlos Irrigation Project (SCIP), which provides irrigation water to the communities of Florence, Coolidge, and Casa Grande in Pinal County, Arizona. The initial focus of the SCIDD Rehabilitation Project is the rehabilitation of the Ashurst-Hayden Diversion Dam and its associated headworks, which diverts water from the Gila River for SCIP; the armoring of a segment of the south bank of the Gila River, and the construction of a sediment removal pond and storage area downstream of Ashurst-Hayden Diversion Dam. Following consultation with project stakeholders on Archaeological Consulting Services', Ltd. (ACS) Class III survey of the project area, the Bureau of Reclamation, Phoenix Area Office (Reclamation) directed ACS to conduct Phase 1 data testing at AZ U:15:1(REC) to determine the presence, nature, extent, and integrity of the site's subsurface deposits. In addition, Reclamation directed ACS to conduct additional electronic mapping, photography, and archival research for the historic retaining wall (Feature 15) at AZ U:16:303(ASM) and for the large diversion gate (Feature 2) along the Florence-Casa Grande Canal (AZ AA:3:215[ASM]) in order to assess their eligibility to for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) under Criterion C.
