Summary

Arizona Public Service Company (APS) requested that Logan Simpson Design Inc. (LSD) conduct an intensive cultural resources survey of a 0.23-mile-long and 50-ft-wide (1.39-acre) right-of-way across Luke AFB for the M-101 (Agua Fria–Waddell) 69-kV transmission line, a 4.75-mile-long and 50-ft-wide (28.78-acre) right-of-way across State Trust land administered by the ASLD and BLM lands for the M-104 (Agua Fria–Westwing) 69-kV transmission line, and a 2.26-mile-long and 150-ft-wide (41.09-acre) right-of-way across ASLD and BLM lands for the 230-13 (El Sol–Westwing) 230-kV transmission line. This survey was requested for general inventory purposes and also in advance of proposed vegetation maintenance activities within the project corridor. In addition, APS may conduct maintenance or construction projects within the limits of the project corridor. Vegetation maintenance will be performed with mechanical mowing equipment mounted on a track hoe or a rubber-tired front-end loader and/or by hand cutting using chain saws. All vegetation removal activities will be confined to the 50-ft wide M-101 and M-104 corridors and the 150-ft-wide 230-13 corridor with the exception of possible hazard-tree removal, which would be accomplished using hand cutting with chain saws only. Any disturbances that cannot be confined to the project corridor would be covered by a separate cultural resources survey once such areas are identified.
