A Cultural Resource Survey Report and Archaeological Monitoring and Discovery Plan for the Salt River Project 69-kV Transmission Line Pole Replacement Between Rio Verde and Fountain Hills, Maricopa County, Arizona

Author(s): Jodi Strohmayer

Year: 2005

Summary

Salt River Project (SRP) maintains a 69-kilovolt (kV) transmission line between the Glenbrook substation in  Fountain  Hills  and  the  Rio  Verde  substation  in  the  community  of Rio  Verde  in  Maricopa  County, Arizona  (Figure  1).  The  transmission  line  is  currently  supported  by  30-year-old  wooden  poles,  which generally follow the alignment of McDowell Mountain Road.  In order to improve the overall  safety and durability of the transmission line, SRP intends to replace all of the wooden poles with sturdier steel ones. Installation of the new poles will occur on lands managed by the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) and by the Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department (MCPRD) as part of McDowell Mountain Regional  Park,  and  therefore  requires  compliance  with  the  Arizona  State  Historic  Preservation  Act. Accordingly,  SRP  requested  that  EcoPlan  Associates,  Inc.  (EcoPlan)  conduct  a  cultural  resource investigation in advance of the transmission line pole replacement project. The investigation was carried out  under  the  authority  of the  Arizona  Antiquities  Act  Permit  No.  2005-028bl,  which  was  issued  to EcoPlan by the Arizona State Museum (ASM).
