The Salt River Project (SRP) is planning to conduct 5-year vegetation management along their Coronado-Silvering 500 kV transmission line beginning in May 2022. The portion of the transmission right-of-way (ROW) that crosses Tonto National Forest (TNF)’s Tonto Basin and Pleasant Valley Ranger Districts will be subject to vegetation management during this cycle. The entire length of the proposed treatment corridor has been previously surveyed, with the most recent survey conducted by Logan Simpson in 2016 (Cook et al. 2017). Review of the existing data sources, however, reveals numerous discrepancies in site location, site extent, and concordance among Arizona State Museum (ASM) assigned numbers, Forest Service assigned numbers, and other site numbering systems. Thus, the purpose of this project is to reconcile, to the extent possible, those discrepancies and to provide updated spatial data and recommendations. This will allow SRP to determine spans in which vegetation management by hand is needed to preserve cultural resources sites. |
