Grand Canal Radial Gate MCC 2-6.3 Improvement Monitoring Project

Summary

Northland Research, Inc. (Northland) has completed archaeological monitoring for the Grand Canal Radial Gate MCC 2-6.3 Improvement Project that took place on lands administered by the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR). The project's Area of Potential Effect (APE) is situated within the mapped boundaries of Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1[ASM]), a previously recorded prehistoric Hohokam village that is listed in the Arizona and National Registers of Historic Places (A/NRHP). The APE consists of the utility easement, which is located along the Grand Canal immediately south of the Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological Park, in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona. The legal description is the SW¼ of the NE¼ of Section 7, Township 1 North, Range 4 East, Gila and Salt River Baseline and Meridian (USGS Tempe, Ariz. 7.5' map) (Figure 1). The purpose of the project was to upgrade the existing equipment; it was conducted February 28 and 29, 2017. Impacts included the excavation of a 50-foot-long trench from the property line to the new mast location, a smaller (7-foot-long) trench to connect the main ·trench with an existing APS power pole, construction of a roughly 15-foot by IO-foot concrete pad for the new equipment mast, and removal of the old equipment.
