Author(s): Linda Mayro; Christopher Causey; Robert Hard

Year: 1977

Summary

As a result of a meeting October 4, 1976, with representative from Arizona Public Service, the Southwestern Regional Office of the U.S. Forest Service, Tonto and Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests, and the Arizona State Museum, it was decided that portions of the Cholla to Saguaro 500 kV transmission line should be checked and, if necessary, resurveyed to insure that all archaeological resources within the transmission line corridor are identified. This report concerns the results of checking and the subsequent resurvey of that portion of the line between towers APS 96 to APS 123 and SRP 124.

This resurvey was performed in accordance with the survey procedures outlined in the October 13, 1976 letter (2720/2360/File) by Martin McAllister. It states that "tower sites and a buffer zone consisting of the area within a radius of 200 feet around each tower site hub will be surveyed" (Survey Procedure 1b).The check and resurvey of this segment was conducted for the purposes of evaluating the adequacy of the initial survey and locating additional sites not covered by the initial survey. The nature of the survey, the findings of it, and recommendations are discussed below.
