description: In conjunction with an Environmental Impact Statement analysis being conducted for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Red Mountain Freeway east of State Route (SR) 87 by ENTRANCO, Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) performed cultural resource investigations of proposed alternative alignments. To assist the initial alternative selection process, a literature review was prepared for a 55-square-mile area. Survey of undeveloped portions of alternative rights-of-way followed. Historic buildings were discovered within the alternatives, and Gerald A. Doyle and Associates were hired to help with their assessment. Twenty archaeological sites and 117 isolated occurrences were recorded by the survey. However, adjustments to the alignments resulted in only 16 archaeological sites and 79 isolated occurrences being within the proposed alternatives. Over 300 parcels were evaluated to define a historic district in the Lehi area of Mesa. Eleven other parcels with historic structures, historic orchards, and historic canals were also examined.
