Author(s): Regina L. Chapin-Pyritz; Matthew Hill, Jr.

Year: 2002

Summary

GBPP (Gila Bend Power Partners) proposes to construct and operate a 500kV transmission line, which will deliver electrical power from the Hassayampa Switchyard south of Wintersburg, Arizona to the Jojoba Switchyard currently under construction in south-central Maricopa County, Arizona. The project will increase the transmission of electrical power into areas surrounding metropolitan Phoenix, and will promote economic development of benefit to the people of Arizona.

GBPP retained EPG (Environmental Planning Group) to assist with the following: (1) preparation of an Environmental Assessment in support of a BLM (Bureau of Land Management) right-of-way grant, (2) an application to the Power Plant and Transmission Line Siting Committee of the Arizona Corporation Commission for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility, (3) an application for an ASLD (Arizona State Land Department) right-of-way grant, and (4) an application for an USACE (U.S. Army Corp of Engineers) Section 404 permit. This report documents the results of the class I (records review) and class III (field inventory) cultural resource surveys conducted in support of the proposed transmission line project.
