description: As part of the Sanitary Sewer Relief Program 2010, the City installed new 15-inch sewer lines at various locations. The City Archaeology Section reviewed the proposed project, noting that two of the proposed locations (Projects 12D and 12F DIV) were within 250 feet (76 meters) of archaeological site AZ T:12:137(ASM), known as Las Canopas, and site AZ T:12:231(ASM), and recommended that installation of the sewer lines near those two sites be archaeologically monitored to determine if buried remnants of the sites remained intact. The Street Transportation Department retained URS Corporation to conduct that monitoring under Contract No. 124953 for on-call environmental services. This report documents the goals, methods, and results of the monitoring, which did not identify any remnants of the two known archaeological sites. Trenches for sewer line installation were monitored within 250 feet (76 meters) of the mapped boundaries of the sites. The trenches excavated for the sewer lines were 2 to 4 feet (0.6 to 1.2 meters) wide and up to 15 feet (4.6 meters) or more deep.
