A Cultural Resources Assessment of Potential Routes for the Salt River Project's Proposed 230 kV Electric Transmission Line in District 4 of the Gila River Indian Community, Maricopa and Pinal Counties, Arizona

Author(s): Christopher P. Garraty

Year: 2013

Summary

This report presents the results of a Cultural Resources Assessment (Class I Records Search, with limited supplemental fieldwork) by the Gila River Indian Community (GRIC) Cultural Resource Management Program (CRMP) for the proposed construction of a 230 kV electric transmission line in District 4 of the GRIC, Maricopa and Pinal Counties, Arizona (CRMP Project No. 2012.36x0). Implementation of the proposed undertaking will require approval from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Pima Agency. Consequently, this undertaking is subject to review under the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Salt River Project (SRP) is considering multiple potential routes for the transmission line right-of-way (ROW) and, accordingly, has divided the transmission line corridors into various preferred and Alternate Routes. The Area of Potential Effect (APE) for this assessment consists of these various alignments, which encompass a ROW corridor width of 600 feet in most areas (a 300-foot corridor is proposed for segments along the GRIC border, i.e., where the alignment runs parallel to Price Road). An eighth-mile buffer surrounding the APE is also evaluated to better understand the distribution of cultural resources in the broader vicinity of the proposed transmission line corridor.
