Minutes of the Meeting of the Arizona Game and Fish Commission Friday, February 4, 2011

This information was obtained from the Arizona Archaeologists facebook group. Note page 5 "A large archaeological site has been identified on the eastern portion of the property that could influence the project. Additional surveys and coordination with SHPO are planned, and it is possible that the pond location may need to be moved to another portion of the property." http://www.gf.state.az.us/inside_azgfd/documents/2011.02.04CommMtgMinutes.pdf

Community Fishing Pond – Town of Eagar

Department personnel have been working with the Town of Eagar, Apache County, to develop a
community fishing pond on Department property in the town. A lease and cooperative
agreement are currently being developed, so that the land with the pond can then be leased to the
town and maintained/operated by the town. The town is also providing water for the pond
through water rights they have from the Little Colorado River. The Department will be
constructing the pond. The town had discussed the project at a council meeting in early January
and signed a resolution to support a cooperative agreement with the Arizona Game and Fish
Commission. Archaeological evaluations of the pond construction site are also being conducted,
with close coordination with the State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO). A large
archaeological site has been identified on the eastern portion of the property that could influence
the project. Additional surveys and coordination with SHPO are planned, and it is possible that
the pond location may need to be moved to another portion of the property.
