A Cultural Resources Survey of the C.C. Cragin (Blue Ridge) Reservoir and Associated Pipeline and Electrical Line, Coconino and Tonto National Forests, Arizona

Author(s): Chris North

Year: 2006

Summary

The Salt River Project (SRP) has acquired the C.C. Cragin (formerly Blue Ridge) project from the Phelps Dodge Corporation, which originally built the project in 1965. The C.C. Cragin project consists of a number of facilities, including a dam and reservoir, diversion tunnel and pump shaft, pumping plant, priming reservoir, pipeline, electrical transmission line, surge tank, and a power plant. SRP requested a Class III cultural resources survey of these facilities in advance of future operation, maintenance, and repair needs for the Cragin facilities. SWCA also surveyed several existing roads near the C.C. Cragin project in case SRP decides to use these in the future as access routes to the project area.

This report is a revised draft.
