Sample Press Release: Exhibit A
McDowell Mountain Regional Park Seeks Public
Input on Park’s Master Plan Update
The Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department has begun the process of
updating McDowell Mountain Regional Park’s Master Plan. The goal of the Park
Master Plan update is to develop a long-range vision for the park that takes into
account visitor needs, while also protecting the resources and natural open space
found within the park.
“The Park’s Master Plan was originally developed in 1967,” stated Maricopa County
Board of Supervisor’ Chairman Steve Chucri. “McDowell Mountain Regional Park
is a point of pride for our county. The plan deserves a fresh look to benefit the
changing community and the needs of today’s park visitors.”
Located four miles north of the Town of Fountain Hills, McDowell Mountain
Regional Park is comprised of 21,099 acres within the lower Verde Basin, and is the
third largest park in Maricopa County’s regional park system.
“With over 60-miles of multi-use trails and 14-miles of competitive track, the park
is recognized for its diversity of user experiences, and houses a number of large
scale events,” said R.J. Cardin, Maricopa County Parks and Recreation director. “In
addition, the park is adjacent to Scottsdale’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve, which
provides users the opportunity to traverse between two great open spaces.”
8

“Given the parks proximity to neighboring communities, diverse use, and
collaborative partnerships, we will be hosting an array of meetings to ensure that we
capture feedback from as many user groups as possible as we move through the
process,” added Cardin.
At this time, the department would like to invite the public to attend an open house
style public meeting for the project. To accommodate local residents to the north
and south side of the park, two identical meetings have been scheduled. Residents
may choose to attend either meeting:
• Tuesday, February 20 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm at the Fountain Hills
Community Center located south of the park at 13001 N. La Montana Dr.,
Fountain Hills.
• Thursday, February 22 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm at the Tonto Verde
Community Center located north of the park at 18401 El Circulo Drive, Rio
Verde.
Once both public meetings have concluded, presentation materials will be posted
on the park’s website at https://www.maricopacountyparks.net/park-
locator/mcdowell-mountain-regional-park/park-information/park-projects/, and
the public comment period will begin. Feedback will be collected via a survey link
on the page. Public comments will be accepted through the close of business on
Thursday, March 22.
For additional assistance, contact the department’s parks and open space planner,
Lauren Bromley, at (928) 501-9207 or LaurenBromley@mail.maricopa.gov. The
department anticipates the whole process to update McDowell Mountain Regional
Park’s Master Plan take approximately 18 months. To learn more about Maricopa
County’s regional park system, visit www.maricopacountyparks.net.

McDowell Mountain Regional Park
Master Plan Update
Comments from February 20 and 22, 2018 Public Open House Meetings
SUMMARY
This public meeting was conducted in an open house style format and a PowerPoint presentation was
presented on a looped feed. Display boards were stationed throughout the room in a manner that
invited the public to work their way around the room to view each board after the presentation.
Department staff were readily available to answer questions, and engage in discussions during and after
the presentation. Members of the public were asked to view the displayed maps for the park, and write
down comments to post to the map locations associated with those comments. Comment cards were
available for interested parties to provide detailed comments and feedback. Between the two
locations, a total of fifteen (15) people signed in at the meetings, fifteen (15) sticky note comments
were collected from the maps, eleven (11) flip pad notes were written on the easel pads, and three (3)
comment cards were collected at the end of the meetings.
The Department scheduled a 30-day comment period concluding on March 22, 2018, to provide the
general public adequate time to provide feedback. Figure 1 demonstrates how the various pieces of
communications were received during the 30-day comment period.
Commenters were allowed to choose more than one activity group that best represents themselves. Of
those that specified their preferred activity, “Hiker” represented 38% of respondents, followed by
“Wildlife Viewer” at 33% (Figure 2).

Department planning staff reviewed the 21 surveys received. Out of those 21 surveys, the Department
planning staff recognized 94 unique comments. Further, out of the 94 unique comments, 22 (or about
23 percent) were considered to be out of the scope of the MP Update. Out of scope means that the
comment or suggestion is already covered by another planning document; it may also mean that the
comment pertains to an operational matter; or it may mean that the comment does not otherwise fall
under the purview of a MP. Other comments deemed out of scope may also be too generalized or vague
to work with. All comments were forwarded to park management for review.
Table 1: Unique and Out of Scope Comments
Total number of surveys received: 21
Unique Comments: 94
Out of Scope Comments: 22
A MP does not dictate hours of operation, staffing, programing or other day-to-day activities. It also
does not dictate activities that occur outside of park boundaries. As noted at the public meeting, the
purpose of a MP is to outline the long-range vision for the park as well as development priorities that
will provide for both the public’s enjoyment, and the protection of the park’s resources. A MP also:
• Serves as a guide and policy document for current and future park staff, partnering agencies,
elected officials, and interested members of the public.
• Guides management of natural, cultural, and recreational resources.

Comments from February 20 and 22, 2018 Public Open House Meetings
• Considers a range of issues such as staffing, funding, encroachment, wildlife corridors, public
needs, and more.
• Considers staff, stakeholder, and public recommendations.
• Identifies park enhancement opportunities including possible upgrades to park facilities,
recreation infrastructure, restoration opportunities, etc.
The remaining substantive comments will be further evaluated and potentially carried forward into the
recommended park improvements for the MP. Table 1 details each unique comment received.

Survey Monkey Question #4: After reviewing the current park map, what do you like about the park?
Survey Monkey Extensive trail system.
Survey Monkey I like the Nursery Tank barrier-free trail but it needs updating and I would like to
see a full loop trail there with interpretive displays and covered picnic area that
is ADA as well.
Survey Monkey I like the camping near the north east corner of the park but I wish there was an
area for pop up trail camping that was better suited to that style of camping.
Maybe a gravel area with parking, picnic tables and fire pits similar to the tent
area but less expensive than the traditional RV slots.
Survey Monkey I think Southwest Wildlife would be an excellent addition and draw to the park.

wildlife regularly. It’s great.
Survey Monkey I love the natural state of the environment, the ability of wildlife to survive
unchallenged by development.
Survey Monkey The variety of trails and uses is perfect. Again, keeping the acreage natural
cannot be more alluring. It should not be developed to be just another “arcade

Survey Monkey Lots of hiking trails, limited number of people, no or less horses on trails, lots of

Survey Monkey Lots of trails!
Survey Monkey More trails x
Survey Monkey I like the Nature Center.
Survey Monkey Question #5: Of the existing amenities and services, what would you like to see more of in the
future?
Survey Monkey Interpretive trails that focus on inclusivity such as ADA and sensory displays, i.e.
sound garden. More historical programing.
Survey Monkey More walking trails and opportunities to see local wildlife
Survey Monkey More paved trails for the elderly. I myself like more challenging hikes however
my dad who is 77 is still a hiker and now shuffles when he walks and can easily
be disoriented by things such as bikers on trails. He still loves to get out there
and hike and I believe that this park is perfect to create more trails the elderly
can go on that are paved and easy to walk. Also add in more informational signs
along the way discussing the terrain and animals to further educate both the old
and the young about the beautiful dessert we live in.
Survey Monkey I would like to allow the SWCC (SOUTHWEST WILDLIFE CONSERVATION CENTER)
to relocate on public land. It is a fantastic facility and should NOT be in a
residential area.
Survey Monkey Organized educational hikes, wildlife viewing x

Survey Monkey Trail connecting Nature Center (Tortoise Trail) with Wagner Trail. A new Nature
Center.
Survey Monkey Horse rentals and a rope course.
Survey Monkey Southwest Wildlife
Survey Monkey An entrance similar to the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy (Lost Dog Wash
Trailhead & Gateway Trailhead) would be great! It is very inviting, bathrooms
are right at the start of the main trailheads and on weekends when I have gone
I have seen people there promoting the parks and trails along with the fact that

Survey Monkey Southwest Wildlife is nearby but, if relocated to the park, could offer a golden
opportunity to view wildlife in captivity.....an additional draw to the park for the
general public and an added attraction to entertain and educate.
Survey Monkey Wildlife Sanctuary, more information about native wildlife
Survey Monkey Better restrooms and showers
Survey Monkey Hiking trails if anything.
Survey Monkey Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center!
Expanded nature center.
Survey Monkey
Survey Monkey : Additional Comments
Survey Monkey Best location for SWCC is near Nature Center because the area already has a lot
of development; don't place it in less-developed areas to the north. Dust
mitigation at Four Peaks Staging Area ahead of Ragnar during dry years.
Survey Monkey Expand the areas for special events and add more restrooms
Survey Monkey I believe that the trails such as the Sonoran Trail should be listed on maps as the
entire trail length not just the portion on the McDowell Mountain Regional Park
side alone. It would help bring more people into this park to hike trails that are x
more challenging
Survey Monkey The gated neighborhood where the Dixie Mine Trail & the Sonoran Trail can be
accessed in Fountain Hills really don't make us hikers feel welcome by deciding
to be closed on certain holidays and having the gateman remind you as you walk
in when the community gates are closed to the public. If this trailhead could be
moved to a location where we feel invited that would be awesome. I love our
parks for the beauty of nature and the challenges of hiking them and would love
to help where I can.
Survey Monkey None
Survey Monkey It would be a great area for wildlife from SWCC to be available for public viewing
at the park
Survey Monkey The preserve offers beautiful scenery and wildlife viewing as well as educational
opportunities. Continuation of these opportunities is appreciated. x
Survey Monkey Keep it as natural Arizona as possible
x
Survey Monkey Keep up the good work. x
Survey Monkey Addition of Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center would be perfect for the
park!

Comments submitted via email and Facebook
Email Consider a coin-operated laundry facilities for the RV campground. The closest
laundromat is the Eagle View RV Resort at Fort McDowell.
Email I think it is a good idea to move the North trail head to the restroom.
Email The North Trail needs to be updated. Some of the points of interest markers are
in poor condition and some of the indicated plants no longer exist. x
Email If the Verde Trail reroute to the Pemberton Trail is built it may be wise to close
the North Trail to bikes. The North Trail is popular with the elderly snowbirds x
and kind of tight for shared traffic.
Email A shower facility in the tent camping area would be appreciated.
Email The picnic area needs a few small shade Ramada’s.
Email If glamping cabins or safari platform tent are trialed then shower and bathroom
facilities need to be close by.
Email Consider an astronomy area in the area of the proposed nature area. Some
circular pads for setting up telescopes close to a parking area. The area needs
to be away from street lights and auto headlights. Perhaps screened from the
parking lot. Other suitable areas would be the picnic area or Minks Camp. Good
astronomy viewing sites are starting to become travel destinations.
Email Dixie Mine Area: A trail heading North or North East from the Dixie Mine trail
head that connects to the Dixie Mine trail to create a five mile loop.
Email Scenic Trail: Create a link trail near the North end that heads Northeast to the
Lousley Hill trail.
Email Granite Trail: Run a trail from the rock piles near the West region of the Granite
Trail near the old concrete tank West to the Pemberton Trail. There are a
number of interesting rock formations in this area.
Email Old Minks Camp trail: Restore the Minks Camp (MC) trail and extend it from
Minks Camp site past the Youth Group Area and connect it to the Verde trail.
Email The Clay Pit SW of the Pemberton Pond that is eroding away the Pemberton
Trail. Use a crawler dozer and push the clay spoil piles back into the pit to x
prevent erosion of the pit walls next to the Pemberton Trail.

Email Four Peaks Staging Area needs a restroom facility or portable restrooms. Also
the lot needs grading more frequently. Some sizable ruts form that are a bit
much for sedans.
Email The Pemberton Pond and ranch house site area needs some maintenance. It is
x
starting to look kind of ragged.
Email More signage about keeping dogs on a leash (retractable leashes are a hazard)
at all times in all areas of the park. We've encountered dogs off leash both on
the trails and in the campground (our dog was actually attacked in the x
campground by a dog that got past its owner).
Email Even with the poop bags supplied throughout the park, it's amazing the amount
that is not picked up by dog owners on the trails (there's coyote poop too, but
you can tell the difference, and there's a lot more dog poop). Maybe more x
visible signage about cleaning up after pets.
Email Covers on all volunteer sites.
Email With the addition of the restroom at Four Peaks Staging Area, probably 2 or 3
volunteer sites so there is someone keeping an eye on things down there since
it's so far removed from the campground. You would probably need at least 2,
if not 3, because it would probably be overwhelming for 1 host to be there x
alone. We noticed many people would wait until they knew the entry station
was closed to come into the park. We've also encountered vagrants in the park.
Email Camp host site at tent area. The current camp host has to travel miles to check
on the tent camping area. And, as mentioned above, many people come in after
the entry station is closed and leave before volunteers/employees are have a
chance to make their rounds.
Email We've seen many people cutting through the desert part (center of the loops)
of the campground to go visit friends on the other side or to go to the
restroom. We saw that Usery has some designated paths so that people aren't
blazing their own trails. Maybe not a bad idea for MMRP?
Email Wi-Fi in the Visitor Center for volunteers or in the campground. Many campers
upon checking in at the entry station would ask if the campground had WI-FI. I
guess there are many State Parks (not sure which States) that have WI-FI
available in the campground. The cell phone coverage at MMRP is very sketchy,
so this would really help if not for all campers, at least for the volunteers.
Email At the last meeting there was talk about another campground loop for short
term camping. We could definitely use more campsites. x
Email Any additional activities (additional playground, zip line, etc.) would probably
be best somewhere near the Competitive Track. The campground is nice and
peaceful (except the playground at times can be loud), I think that is one if the
things that draws people to camp here. It's not like a commercial campground.
Like you said at the meeting, there's such thing as loving the park to

death. When there are big events near the Competitive Track, you couldn't
even tell anything was going on from the campground, which was nice.
Email It was mentioned at the last meeting about having a different way for the police
to access the compound. I know it's because they might not drive 15mph
through the campground, but I think that police presence is always a good thing.
It's better to have people see them driving through than not see them, to deter
unlawful activity. If they had a different access to the compound, they might
never drive through. (Also, I think the park is thinking about installing speed
bumps throughout the campground. We would strongly encourage this. It
would slow everyone down without the added inconvenience/expense of
putting in a new road).
Email Any new volunteer sites (if possible) would be best if they faced north. Most of
them face south and if they have a Class A Motorhome, the windshield gets
the afternoon sun and it's harder to keep cool.

SUMMARY
This public meeting was conducted in a presentation style format and a PowerPoint presentation was
given along with questions and answers throughout the presentation. Display boards were stationed
throughout the room, and the public was invited to work their way around the room to view each board
after the presentation. Department staff were readily available to answer questions, and to engage in
discussions during and after the presentation. Comment cards were available for interested parties to
provide comments and feedback. Approximately 21 people signed in for the meeting, and twelve (12)
comment cards were received by the end of the open house.
The Department scheduled a 30-day comment period concluding on December 5, 2018, to provide the
general public adequate time to provide feedback. Figure 1 demonstrates how the various pieces of
communications were received during the 30-day comment period.

Commenters were allowed to choose more than one activity group that best represents themselves. Of
those that specified their preferred activity, “Bicyclists / Mountain Bikers” represented 96% of
respondents, followed by “Hiker/Runner” at 4% (Figure 2).

Department planning staff reviewed each of surveys received. Out of those 92 submitted surveys,
Department planning staff recognized 166 unique comments. Further, out of the 166 unique comments,
30 (or about 18 percent) were considered to the out of the scope of the MP Update. Out of scope means
that the comment or suggestion is already covered by another planning document; it may also mean
that the comment pertains to an operational matter; or it may mean that the comment does not
otherwise fall under the purview of a MP. Other comments deemed out of scope may also be too
generalized or vague to work with. In any case, all comments were forwarded to park management for
their reference (Table 1).
Table 1: Unique and Out of Scope Comments
Total number of surveys
received: 92
Unique Comments: 166
Out of Scope Comments: 30
A MP does not dictate hours of operation, staffing, programing or other day-to-day activities. A MP also
does not dictate activities that occur outside of park boundaries. As noted at the public meeting, the
purpose of a master plan is to outline the long-range vision for the park as well as development
priorities that will provide for both the public’s enjoyment and the protection of the park’s resources.
The remaining substantive comments will be further evaluated and potentially carried forward into the
recommended or preferred alternative for the MP. Table 2 details each unique comment received.

Method Comment
Scope
Comment Card Consider adding another trail that would connect the Cedar Tank area to the
Campground area. Currently the only option from the norther side of
Pemberton is via Lariat and the Pemberton to PBTH to the Visitor Center but you
have to use the road to get to parking by the RV dump station. A nice flowing
trail similar to the Lariat or Delsie would be great and provide an alternative for
mountain bikers/hikers, other than PB.
Comment Card Add additional loops to the competitive track.
Comment Card Design and build a skills park
Comment Card Consider using the old alignment of the Pemberton Trail as the west boundary.
Comment Card Consider making the flow trail go from the Scenic High Point to the Escondido
Comment Card Ensure that all lighting outside (path lights, playground lights, etc.) are
International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) approved and intelligently designed to
avoid any light pollution or "Uplight." Also buildings where interior lights may be x
on at night should have blackout shades installed.
Comment Card The term "Concessionaire" concerns me. I would not want a food service
concession or any type of entertainment venue in this park.
Comment Card Add new trails from Fountain Hills east of Dixie Mine connecting to Dixie Mine
Trail.
Comment Card I hope the park can leverage its existing dark skies and follow the lead of the
National Parks to become a "dark sky park." This will increase the parks off-hour x
visitation and tie in well with the Fountain Hills recent IDA designation.
Comment Card Extend Hilltop Trail along the ridge and connect to Scenic Trail. If implemented,
it would be okay to close a portion of the Scenic Trail that is bypassed if desired.
Comment Card Make McDowell a Dark Sky Park x
Comment Card Please consider the Scenic Trail as a hikers only trail

Survey Monkey Love this park and this will make it even better x
Survey Monkey Sedona did a skills, please move quickly to improve the park. x
Survey Monkey I like the idea of keeping our land and parks natural. No more concrete needed. x
Survey Monkey With the exception of a bike park and potentially additional showers, please
keep everything else as close to natural as possible. The park is beautiful and x
much of the joy of recreation in the park comes from its natural setting.
Survey Monkey Pump Track
Survey Monkey Great Trails! x
Survey Monkey More bike park and fun trails please! 😁😁
Survey Monkey Thank you for your support to this outdoor community. x
Survey Monkey All for this park renovation!! Hope it gets the attention it deserves x
Survey Monkey A park of the caliber that is in the master plan would be an amazing addition to
x
the Valley!
Survey Monkey MMRP is the best asset in greater Phoenix. Have loved it since 2001. x
Survey Monkey Excited for what is to come! x
Survey Monkey Thanks and looking forward to the new developments x
Survey Monkey All events should have a cap on total registrants. Some of the current events
(RAGNAR) are too big for this park and should not be allowed. There should also
be a refundable deposit for all events. If the park is returned to as good as or x
better shape after the conclusion of the event the deposit is returned. If not, the
deposit is used for clean-up (horse shit) and/or repairs.
Survey Monkey I'm just excited to see improvements coming. Mountain biking seems to growing
x
at a rapid pace.
Survey Monkey I'm excited to see the updates to the park, it's one of my favorite places to ride. x
Survey Monkey Please build a skills park.
Survey Monkey Thank you for listening to the mountain bikers. x
Survey Monkey The plan looks great. Build it and they will come. x
Survey Monkey Thank you! x
Survey Monkey Do not build the cabins! Leave the area pristine.
Survey Monkey Bike skills park would be a great addition.
Survey Monkey Any additional trails would be wonderful! x
Survey Monkey This will attract more riders than ever before. x
Survey Monkey We love McDowell. We camp here several times per year and bike here at least
x
once per month.
Survey Monkey I'm a day user only, but since the majority of the revenue comes from camping
x
fees, it makes sense to add amenities for campers.

Comments Submitted via email
Email Consider a coin-operated laundry facilities for the RV campground. The closest
laundromat is the Eagle View RV Resort at Fort McDowell.
Email We would like to see hunting banned at McDowell Park or limited to an
extremely small area. We have had several unfortunate encounters with
hunters, & feel that with the expanded staging & camping areas, the potential
for park patrons to be injured by a stray bullet will be even further increased.
We have on multiple occasions had shots fired very close to us while walking
down to the pond, & had to yell at the hunter to stop. We have encountered a
hunter literally sitting in a lawn chair in camo clothing with what looked like a
rifle right next to the pond. We have also heard shots in other areas, but not as
close.
x
Hunters don't stay on the trails (damaging the desert plants) & there is no way
to enforce the distance they are supposed to stay away from trails. We have
talked to several park employees about this, & they all said that they would like
to see hunting banned at the park, & that they have expressed that opinion
multiple times.
It is very disconcerting to feel that we are putting our lives at risk by simply
walking down to the pond. With so many activities going on at the park, having
hunters randomly shooting all over the place is an accident waiting to happen.
Eventually someone will be shot & injured or killed.
Email Surveys
Many of the comments at the public open houses and follow-up were about
hiking trails. Mountain bikers are 58.9% of the users and surprisingly few x
comments about mountain biking. Wondering if the mountain bikers are
coming from a larger area than Rio Verde and Fountain Hills.
Email Fountain Hills Resident - I am concerned about having cabins in the park. I can’t
bike on trails due to knee surgery so I use the roads and I don’t want to see
more traffic in this area or cabins. I think this area is beautiful and I don’t want x
to see it ruined just for the placement of a few cabins.
Email Future Revenue
Raise the fee for the day users and the annual passes. As a purchaser of an
annual pass, I would be happy to pay more for the annual pass or an additional x
fee to keep the Park as it is. You will immediately start putting money into the
parks fund with no debt or maintenance costs.
Email Proposed Park Amenity Request
What are the costs of the proposed projects? Costs should include planning x
costs including staff time, engineering and architectural costs, infrastructure,

Map Unit Description
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions in this
report, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and
properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or
more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and
named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a
taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils.
On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is
made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named, soils that are
similar to the named components, and some minor components that differ in use
and management from the major soils.
Most of the soils similar to the major components have properties similar to those
of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and
management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They
may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Some minor
components, however, have properties and behavior characteristics divergent
enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called
contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and
could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of
strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special
symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting
minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some
characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been
observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions,
especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make
enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the
landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned,
however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and
miscellaneous areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.

Map Unit Description: Tres Hermanos-Anthony complex, 1 to 5 percent slopes---Aguila- Nursery Tank
Carefree Area, Arizona, Parts of Maricopa and Pinal Counties
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. All the soils of
a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and
arrangement. Soils of a given series can differ in texture of the surface layer,
slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect
their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil
phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil
series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or
management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of
the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an
intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on
the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are
somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an
example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of
present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not
considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas
separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous
areas are somewhat similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an
example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and
proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform.
An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or
it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is
an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.
Additional information about the map units described in this report is available in
other soil reports, which give properties of the soils and the limitations,
capabilities, and potentials for many uses. Also, the narratives that accompany
the soil reports define some of the properties included in the map unit
descriptions.

Project ID: HGIS-08348 Review Date: 11/26/2018 11:07:36 AM
Disclaimer:
1. This Environmental Review is based on the project study area that was entered. The report must be
updated if the project study area, location, or the type of project changes.
2. This is a preliminary environmental screening tool. It is not a substitute for the potential knowledge
gained by having a biologist conduct a field survey of the project area. This review is also not intended to
replace environmental consultation (including federal consultation under the Endangered Species Act),
land use permitting, or the Departments review of site-specific projects.
3. The Departments Heritage Data Management System (HDMS) data is not intended to include potential
distribution of special status species. Arizona is large and diverse with plants, animals, and
environmental conditions that are ever changing. Consequently, many areas may contain species that
biologists do not know about or species previously noted in a particular area may no longer occur there.
HDMS data contains information about species occurrences that have actually been reported to the
Department. Not all of Arizona has been surveyed for special status species, and surveys that have been
conducted have varied greatly in scope and intensity. Such surveys may reveal previously
undocumented population of species of special concern.
4. HabiMap Arizona data, specifically Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) under our State
Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) and Species of Economic and Recreational Importance (SERI), represent
potential species distribution models for the State of Arizona which are subject to ongoing change,
modification and refinement. The status of a wildlife resource can change quickly, and the availability of
new data will necessitate a refined assessment.
Locations Accuracy Disclaimer:
Project locations are assumed to be both precise and accurate for the purposes of environmental review. The
creator/owner of the Project Review Report is solely responsible for the project location and thus the correctness
of the Project Review Report content.

Recommendations Disclaimer:
1. The Department is interested in the conservation of all fish and wildlife resources, including those
species listed in this report and those that may have not been documented within the project vicinity as
well as other game and nongame wildlife.
2. Recommendations have been made by the Department, under authority of Arizona Revised Statutes

Notes:
• As of 02/13/2015 the data in this report has been updated to use a different set of
information. Results are based on where the species is believed to or known to occur.
The FWS feels utilizing this data set is a better representation of species occurrence.
Note: there may be other federally listed species that are not currently known or
expected to occur in this state but are covered by the ESA wherever they are found;
Thus if new surveys detected them in this state they are still covered by the ESA. The
FWS is using the best information available on this date to generate this list.

A Cultural Resources Survey of Proposed Trail Alignments Totaling 5.45 Linear Miles Within McDowell Mountain
Regional Park, Maricopa County, AZ
Site #4 Arizona U:5:10 (ASM) * Origonal Survey by Johnson 1963
Description Represents a difused Hohokam artifact scatter distributed in three large but low density
concentrations. The dirversity of artifacts identified within the site suggests that it represents
more than a chipping stationo or other limited activity area. When the site was origonally
recorded in 1963, it was described as including three or four "houses". However, during the
current survey no surface evidence for those houses was identified. It is possible that dense
vegitation on the ridge obsured these feartures.
