The Natural and Cultural Resources Management Plan for Casa Grande Ruins National Monument presents a long-term action program for managing the area's resources. Its accompanying environmental assessment analyzes and documents the environmental impacts of the proposed actions. This plan provides guidelines for the management of cultural and natural resources at Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, Arizona. The environmental assessment includes description of the climate (with monthly weather averages, 1935-1976), geology, soil (containing caliche), vegetation, wildlife, water resources, and air quality. Among the several black-and-white photographs is one of dead mesquite trees with the caption stating that these result "primarily from lower water tables associated with increased irrigation use outside the monument." Specific actions recommended include investigating the impact of the dropping water table, and a natural resources inventory.
