A Class III Cultural Resources Survey of 8.364 Acres for the Proposed Huckleberry Mesa Transmission Line Project, Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona

Summary

The project is being done in anticipation of the construction and maintenance of two parallel transmission lines by SRP. As proposed, one is a double circuit 230 kV line with two circuits of 69kV lines underbuilt on the same pole and optical ground wire (OPGW) line running on top of the poles and the second is a double circuit 69kV line with an OPGW running across the top (Grew 2021). In total, the lines will span 8.364 acres of Arizona State Trust lands, near the City of Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona. The entirety of the project area has been previously surveyed for cultural resources, with the most recent survey occurring in 2001; however, as these projects are now more than ten years old, ASLD is requesting that a new survey be conducted per Arizona State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) guidance.

North Wind, on behalf of SRP, conducted a Class III cultural resources survey of 8.364 acres of ASLD-administered land in support of the proposed Huckleberry Mesa transmission line construction project in Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona. No cultural resources were identified within the project area; thus, North Wind recommends that the undertaking will result in no effect to historic properties. No additional archaeological investigations are recommended.
