A Cultural Resources Survey for the Salt River Project of 271.11 Acres at the Navajo Generating Station, Coconino County, Arizona

Author(s): John T. Marshall

Year: 2018

Summary

Northland has completed a Class III cultural resources survey and records check of 11 areas within the NGS and ADA totaling 246.36 acres. In addition, the Ash Haul Road between the NGS and ADA was surveyed. This road is 1.13 miles long and includes 24.75 acres. The total survey area is 271.11 acres. The project area is comprised of land on the Navajo Nation that is administered by SRP in Coconino County, Arizona. The survey was undertaken for SRP prior to planned decommissioning of the NGS.

The results of the records check revealed that the NGS and ADA were previously surveyed (Pilles 1969). As a result, five sites (Table 1) were identified within the ADA. Data recovery (Mueller and Fiero 1971) was subsequently conducted at four of the five sites. All of these sites were destroyed by construction and use of the ADA. NA10,744 is located within the current area of investigation. The site no longer exists; three historical cans were recorded near the location of NA10,744, but no other evidence of the site was observed.
