Class I Overview for Tier 1 Planning of Interstate 11, Nogales to Wickenburg, Arizona - Archaeological Sites and Historic Structures

Summary

In December 2015, the United States (US) Congress approved the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act, which authorized a 5-year program to improve the Nation's surface transportation infrastructure. The Act formally designated Interstate 11 (1-11) through Arizona. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) are preparing a Draft Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the I-11 corridor between Nogales and Wickenburg, Arizona, pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other regulatory requirements. FHWA is the Federal Lead Agency and ADOT is the Local Project Sponsor for the Draft Tier 1 EIS. The study documented in this report was conducted to support that Draft Tier 1 EIS.

The report summarizes information about approximately 1,500 prior cultural resource studies and more than 600 archaeological sites and historic structures previously recorded in the three Build Corridor Alternatives for the proposed 1-11 between Nogales and Wickenburg, Arizona. The inventory of cultural resources for each Build Corridor Alternative is incomplete, and additional unrecorded cultural resources are likely to be present.
