description: *On the title page of this report it says 'draft', however this is the final report. * To meet increased demand for electricity due to growth, SRP plans to construct an approximately 20-mile (mi), double-circuit, 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission line including associated tubular steel pole structures that average 110–140 feet (ft) tall (Project). The Project will connect three 230/69kV receiving stations, including the Ball Substation in Gilbert, the Pfister Substation in southeastern Queen Creek, and the Abel Substation east of San Tan Valley. This Project was approved by the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) in 2009, when they issued a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility (CEC) (Decision No. 71441). Because 29.65 acres of the transmission line corridor, including some pole locations, fall within previously known archaeological sites, SRP contracted PaleoWest, LLC (PaleoWest) to prepare and implement this archaeological Historic Properties Treatment Plan (Plan) to mitigate the potential adverse effects of the ground-disturbing activities associated with the pole placement. The three sites crossed by the corridor— AZ U:10:2(ASM)/Germann Site, AZ U:10:32(ASM)/Sand Dune South, and AZ U:10:9(PG)—are Prehistoric Period Hohokam habitation sites.
