description: Salt River Project (SRP) intends to stabilize the west embankment along the South Canal between its intersections with McKellips Road and Gilbert Road, in Mesa (Figure 1). The stabilization project is a Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) mandated project and would involve vegetation removal and the placement of riprap materials along the canal embankment. The project area was previously surveyed for cultural resources (Aguila 1998; Jensen 1998), however the surveys are more than 20 years old and warrant reconsideration per Arizona State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) Guidance Point 5 (SHPO 2004). As a result of field survey on April 1 and May 17, six abandoned segments of the historic Utah Extension Ditch (AZ U:9:180[ASM]), and an as-yet undocumented precontact archaeological site were identified within the canal right of way. Additionally, The South Canal, Lehi Historic District, Lehi Historic Lateral 3-2.0, and Martineux House were identified as adjacent to, but outside of the project area.
