A Cultural Resource Survey of 15.0 Miles Along the Salt River Project Coronado to Silverking 500 kV Transmission Line, Pleasant Valley Ranger District, Tonto National Forest, Gila County, Arizona
Author(s): Daniel H. Sorrell
Year: 2006
Summary
Salt River Project (SRP) maintains the 500-kilovolt (kV) Coronado to Silverking transmission line that traverses the Tonto National Forest (TNF), Gila County, Arizona. To control encroaching vegetation, SRP plans to employ the use of a Slashbuster® - a brush cutting and mulching device mounted onto heavy excavating equipment. The proposed action, which has the potential to impose adverse impacts upon cultural resources, requires permitting from TNF and, as such, is an undertaking subject to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended. Accordingly, SRP requested that EcoPlan Associates, Inc. (EcoPlan) conduct a cultural resource investigation in advance of the project. The survey was carried out under Special Use Permit MES290, issued to EcoPlan by TNF.
This survey report was prepared to provide documentation of the cultural resources identified within the project area for SRP submittal to TNF. We assume that, per the terms of the Region 3 First Amended Programmatic Agreement Regarding Historic Property Protection and Responsibilities, TNF will provide the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) documentation of this survey report in its annual listing of undertakings for which TNF recognized findings of "no historic properties affected."
