Cultural Resource Survey for the New River-Agua Fria River Underground Storage Project, Maricopa County, Arizona

Summary

This report presents a brief review of known cultural resources and investigations within one mile of the proposed expansion to the NAUSP, as well as the results of a 23.5-acre survey within the project limits.

The proposed project will expand the existing NAUSP and will be constructed by SRP on an approximate 74.7-acre parcel of land owned by Flood Control District in the City of Glendale, Arizona. The proposed project will require the construction of an aquifer recharge facility to store and recover water. The proposed work will occur at the confluence of the Agua Fria River and the New River between Glendale Avenue and Camelback Road, where a cell/basin is to be constructed within the river bed of the New River. The purpose and design of the NAUSP facility is to store water in time of surplus for later use by SRP and the cities of Avondale, Chandler, Glendale, and Peoria.
