“The Three Rivers Complex has a variety of important cultural resources including sites of traditional religious and cultural value to local Native American Tribes. The project area includes the ancestral lands of several Indian tribes including the Mohave, Hualapai,and Yavapai. Consultation has been initiated with the local tribes to determine the level of interest in this project and desire for formal consultation on the project. Trap sites would be placed to avoid known cultural resources.”

“Proposed but undesignated wild and scenic river (WSR) segments (Big Sandy, Burro Creek, and Santa Maria River) occur within the project area as identified in the Kingman RMP (BLM 1995). Gather operations would indirectly take place within the confines of the segments (e.g., low helicopter overflights or gather personnel within segments) but activities would not impact any of the identified WSR values (free-flowing, water quality, tentative classifications, and outstandingly remarkable values) of the identified segments.”
