Evaluation of Historic Cultural Resources in Relation to the Central Arizona Water Control Study

摘要

This is a final, summary report on historic cultural resources in relation to the Central Arizona Water Control Study (CAWCS). The objectives of the CAWCS were to identify and evaluate alternative measures for flood control and regulatory water storage in Central Arizona in conjunction with construction of the Central Arizona Project. Having considered numerous alternative plans to meet these objectives, the Bureau of Reclamation defined a preferred alternative (Plan 6, the agency-proposed action). Historic sites at Plan 6 feature locations (Roosevelt Dam, Cliff Dam, Stewart Mountain Dam, and Waddell Dam) were subjected to a more detailed evaluation of effects. This report describes the study process, presents data on both Plan 6 and other CAWCS-identified historic sites (totaling 247 sites, 228 of which were considered to be of potential National Register of Historic Places quality); and presents National Historic Preservation Act compliance documentation.
