Research Design and Work Plan for Intensive Testing of the San Xavier Farm Rehabilitation Project, San Xavier District, Tohono O’odham Nation, Pima County, Arizona

Summary

This is part of the San Xavier Farm Rehabilitation Project. Additional entries related to this project can be found at the following link: https://core.tdar.org/collection/27482

Reclamation is assisting the San Xavier District and the San Xavier Farm Cooperative in the extensive rehabilitation of approximately 1,700 acres of active and fallow farmland along the Santa Cruz River at San Xavier. While some present and former fields will be modified to better accommodate water application from various water delivery systems, the major impacts to fields and some adjacent lands will be from installation of water pipelines and vaults; construction of drainage channels and dikes, including an extension to the west of the existing Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) dike at Interstate 19 (I-19) at the Papago Interchange; and possible tree planting or farming in Field 34 near the southbound ramp of I-19. The project area is located just south of Tucson and west of the Tucson International Airport, and is generally bounded by Valencia Road to the north, the Santa Cruz River and I-19 to the east, the Papago Interchange to the south, and Mission Road and Black Mountain to the west.The project is a federal undertaking by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), Phoenix Area Office, and takes place on Native American lands (Tohono O’odham Nation) adjacent to southwest Tucson. The proposed activities include extensive linear ground disturbance within the proposed farm rehabilitation pipeline, channel, and dike rights-of-way; the ADOT dike extension at the Papago Interchange on I-19; and in Fields 34 and 46N for tree planting.

This project concerns the development of a research design and work plan for archaeological testing for the proposed San Xavier Farm Rehabilitation Project.
