| Popis: | An archaeological survey of the exposed ground surface that will be potentially impacted by the planned demolition of the existing structures of the Verde Water Treatment Plant (VWTP) to allow the landscape to revert to its natural condition. The Class III survey does not include existing buildings, which are being examined in a separate investigation. A Class III archaeological survey conducted of the exposed ground surface within the area of potential effects (APE) found no significant cultural resources. One isolated occurrence (IO) was identified in a disturbed area. A previously recorded prehistoric site (SPRMIC-32) is plotted outside of but immediately adjacent to the northeast portion of the APE; however, no evidence of this site was found within the APE. No further archaeological work is recommended for this project. In addition to the archaeological survey, the project was reviewed by the SRP-MIC Cultural Preservation Program. The Cultural Preservation Program noted that the mountain areas from Mt. McDowell and Arizona Dam Butte across to present day Saguaro Lake (man-made reservoir) are traditional cultural properties (TCPs). Additionally, the Salt and Verde Rivers and the confluence of those two rivers are TCPs. |
