description: During December, 1982, and January, 1983, representatives of the Environmental Services and Civil Engineering Departments of Salt River Project consulted with Archaeological Research Services, Inc. regarding the status of archaeological and historical information pertaining to the Roosevelt Power Canal, an early 20th century structure located in the Roosevelt Lake vicinity. Archaeological Research Services, Inc. had developed recent information on the Power Canal due to its participation in the Central Arizona Water Control Study; a central Arizona flood control and regulatory water storage study sponsored by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers. As a part of this study a number of canal features or components (for example, siphons, bridges, culverts), were field-inventoried and evaluated in terms of National Register of Historic Places eligibility criteria. Archaeological Research Services, Inc. concluded that the Power Canal was an integral part of a proposed Roosevelt Archaeological and Historic National Register District. Documentation supporting this conclusion, in the form of a National Register of Historic Places nomination, was prepared and submitted by Archaeological Research Services, Inc. to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Roosevelt Dam, with which the Power Canal is associated, is itself a National Historic Landmark, as well as a National Register of Historic Places property.
