Cultural Resources Survey of Approximately 2.0 Miles of Transmission and Pipeline Right-of-Way and a Well Pad within the Salado Preserve near St. Johns, Apache County, Arizona

Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP) requested that Logan Simpson Design Inc. (LSD) conduct a cultural resources survey prior to the installation of a well pad, a water pipeline right-of-way (ROW), and an electrical transmission line ROW within the Salado Preserve south of St. Johns, Apache County, Arizona. The well pad survey area measures 60 m by 60 m (0.92 acre). The two ROWs are perpendicular to each other and partially overlap. A north to south trending ROW (Corridor 1) and a northeast to southwest trending ROW (Corridor 2) were surveyed. Corridor 1 is 1,477 m long and 40 m wide (11.12 acres) and extends south from the new well pad location to Corridor 2. Corridor 2 is 934 m long and 40 m wide (2.29 acres), beginning at an existing well on its west end and extending east across the Little Colorado River into a marsh. The marsh area east of the river was not surveyed due to extremely thick vegetation coverage and the presence of water.
