The study encompassed the proposed transmission line corridor including the East Preferred and West Preferred/Secondary Corridors, reclaimed water pipelines, several access roads and bridges, and potable water pipelines. The objective of this study was to provide a preliminary assessment of known cultural resources within and adjacent to the study area and to assist in the selection of route locations with minimal impact to significant cultural resources. Location of Associated Linear Facilities East Preferred Corridor, West Preferred/Secondary Corridors, and Levee Substation The East Preferred Corridor and West Preferred/Secondary Corridors are located in Miami- Dade County and originate at Turkey Point Units 6 & 7. The East Preferred Corridor extends north along the coast and passes through the jurisdictions of Miami-Dade County, the villages of Palmetto Bay and Pinecrest, and the cities of Coral Gables, South Miami, and Miami. The West Preferred/Secondary Corridors pass through the jurisdictions of Miami- Dade County and the cities of Florida City, Doral, and Medley. The East Preferred Corridor is located on the following United States Geological Survey (USGS) Quadrangle maps: Miami (1988 PR 1990), Key Biscayne (1988), South Miami (1988), South Miami NW (1955 PR 1969), Perrine (1988), Goulds (1988), and Arsenicker Keys (1988). The West Preferred/Secondary Corridors are located on the following USGS Quadrangle maps: Pennsuco (1988), Hialeah (1994), Hialeah SW (1988), Coopertown (1973), South Miami NW (1955 PR 1969), South of Coopertown (1972 PR 1969), Grossman Hammock (1956 PR 1973), Arsenicker Keys (1988), Homestead (1988), and Royal Palm Ranger Station (1956 PR 1973). The Township, Range, and Sections in which the associated linear facilities are located are listed in Table 1. The existing Levee substation is located northwest of the intersection of NW 4 1st Street and NW 147 h Avenue in unincorporated Miami-Dade County.
