Summary

As authorized under the Arizona Water Settlements Act of 2004, the San Carlos Irrigation and Drainage District (SCIDD) is undertaking a 10-year rehabilitation project of its irrigation system. SCIDD is the non-Indian irrigation component of the San Carlos Irrigation Project (SCIP), which provides irrigation water to the communities of Florence, Coolidge, and Casa Grande in Pinal County, Arizona. The Bureau of Reclamation, Phoenix Area Office (Reclamation) directed Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd.

This report contains the results of the Reach 2 supplemental survey. ACS documented 15 archaeological sites and 30 isolated occurrences during survey. Nine sites were recommended eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, 4 sites were recommended not eligible, and 2 could not be unevaluated based on the data available.
