Passive Accumulations: Archaeological Investigations in Support of Reconstruction and Extension of Runway 12L-30R at Williams Gateway Airport, Mesa, Arizona

Author(s): Matthew E. Hill, Jr.; J. Simon Bruder

Year: 2000

Summary

Kimley-Hom and Associates are under contract with the Williams Gateway Airport Authority (WGAA) to provide services for design of the reconstruction and extension of Runway 12L-30R. A number of archaeological sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) extend within the construction zone. Therefore, WGAA was required to take into account the potential for its undertakings to affect those archaeological sites under the terms of its lease agreement with the Air Force (the airport has since been deeded to WGAA), and also because the runway renovation is being federally funded by the FAA. Dames & Moore is under subcontract to Kimley-Hom and Associates to assist the WGAA by providing cultural resource services in support of the renovation project.
