Data Recovery Plan for Archaeological Sites on Arizona State Trust Land along the SRP Pinal West to Dinosaur Extra-High Voltage Transmission Line, Pinal County, Arizona

Author(s): Michael Lindeman

Year: 2009

Summary

Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP) plans to construct an 88-mile-long extra-high voltage transmission line linking the Pinal West, Santa Rosa, Pinal Central, Abel, and Dinosaur Substations. The project corridor traverses the area from the Maricopa/Pinal County line west of the Ak Chin Indian Community, southeastward and eastward past Casa Grande, Arizona, then roughly northward past Coolidge and Florence, Arizona, ending east of Queen Creek, Arizona, along the western side of the Central Arizona Project Canal (CAP) (Figure 1). This document addresses cultural resources identified on Arizona State Trust Lands between the Pinal West and Dinosaur substations. Survey of nine segments of Arizona State Trust Lands between the Pinal West and Dinosaur substations was conducted by Henderson and her colleagues (Henderson et. al. 2008) (ASLD Right-of-Way Application Nos. 14-111003 [Pinal West to Santa Rosa section], 14-112542 [Santa Rosa to Pinal Central section], and 16-112288 [Pinal Central to Dinosaur section]) (Figure 2). The survey of State Trust Lands identified 13 archaeological sites in three segments. Eight of the sites—AZ U:10:20 (ASM), AZ U:14:417 (ASM), AZ U:15:61 (ASM), AZ U:15:62 (ASM), AZ U:15:97 (ASM), AZ U:15:264 (ASM), AZ U:15:432 (ASM) and AZ U:15:560 (ASM)-have been considered eligible for listing on the Arizona and National Registers of Historic Places and may contain subsurface remains that could be impacted by construction of the transmission line. All of the eligible sites are between the Pinal Central and Dinosaur Substations, ASLD Right-of-Way Application No. 16-112288. Three sites-AZ U:10:23 (ASM), AZ U:14:73 (ASM), and AZ U:15:99 (ASM)—are also Arizona/National Register-eligible, however, the project corridor crosses site areas that show no evidence of containing significant cultural remains, and the remaining two sites, AZ AA:1:95 (ASM) and AZ U:14:416 (ASM), have been determined or are considered ineligible for Arizona/National Register listing so construction will not impact significant cultural resources at these locations.
