Visual Resources. Employees may use non-verbal communication tools, such as pictorial boards, to communicate with an LEP patient under appropriate circumstances. Such circumstances shall be set forth in detail in both the Hospital’s policy and procedure and the patient’s individual care plan, and may include, for example, discussion of Activities of Daily Living or other brief communication in which both the questions asked of the patient and the answers the patient may provide can be easily and adequately conveyed through visual means.
Visual Resources. This section describes the visual quality of the refuges and potential changes in visual quality resulting from implementing the long-term refuge water supply agreements.
Visual Resources. In conjunction with the Tribe’s discussion on Visual Resources in the Tribe’s May EE, the County acknowledges that the Tribe has provided for the following:
Visual Resources. During reclamation activities, the WRSAs would be graded to eliminate the benches between lifts, reduce the side slopes to an approximate 3H:1V grade, and round-off top benches to approximate more natural contours. After slopes are stabilized and graded, growth media would be applied and the WRSAs seeded. These efforts would reduce moderate contrasts in landforms and lines associated with the Marigold Mine to weaken contrasts as vegetation establishes and matures. MMC has prepared a Lighting Management Plan to document its lighting needs at the mine site as well describe BMPs that are used to reduce light pollution (SSR 2017). Mitigation Measure VR-1: MMC will paint or stain buildings, structures, and pipelines to produce flat-toned, non-reflective surfaces using the BLM color chart for color selection to blend with the existing environment (BLM 2019b).
Visual Resources. About 13,000 hectares of scenic areas are assigned with visual quality objectives within the proposed Community Forest.
Visual Resources. Due to the extent of the viewscape management zones and the associated allowable maximum denudation factors, it is anticipated that viewscape will have a major impact on the scheduling of harvest operations and the associated yields obtained from harvesting operations. A visual landscape inventory was completed for the Xxxxxx TSA. Constraint targets were developed for the visually sensitive units and incorporated slope, based on methods outlined in a Forest Service Bulletin from December 12th, 2003 entitled ‘Modeling Visuals in TSR III’. The TSR3 analysis has used the High Denudation targets shown in Table 41. Table 41. Percent Denudation Targets by VQC and VAC VQC VAC Low Medium High Preservation 0.0 0.5 1.0 Retention 1.1 3.0 5.0 Partial Retention 5.1 10.0 15.0 Modification 15.1 20.0 25.0 Maximum Modification 25.1 32.5 40.0 For this reason, this analysis then used the maximum Permissible Alteration by VQC values when calculating the plan-to-perspective (P2P) ratios (Table 42). P2P ratios are multiplicative factors derived from empirical studies for use in timber supply analyses to convert the percent alteration of a cutblock in perspective view to the equivalent percent alteration in two-dimensional plan view. The following methodology was used to develop the denudation targets using P2P. Table 42. Predicting Visual Quality Objectives Based on Percent Alteration Only (For Clearcut and Seed-Tree Silvicultural Systems). Visual Quality Class (VQC) Percent Alteration by VQC Maximum Percent Alteration by VQC Retention 0-1.5 1.5 Partial Retention 1.6-7.0 7.0 Modification 7.1-18.0 18.0 Maximum Modification 18.1-30.0 30.0 For each VQC polygon, the maximum values were multiplied by the following P2P ratios (all designs column) by the slope class using Table 4 of the report Predictive Models for Plan-to-Perspective (P2P) Ratios, December, 2002, as shown below5 (Table 43): Table 43. Predicted P2P Ratios for Slopes 0% (flat) to 70%. Slope (%) P2P Ratio 0 4.68 10 3.77 20 3.04 30 2.45 40 1.98 50 1.60 60 1.29
Visual Resources. The will summarize the of the scenic resource evaluation and visual impact assessment.
Visual Resources. Setting Since the 2005 Addendum, the California Building Code has been updated to include standards for outdoor lighting that are intended to improve energy efficiency, and to reduce light pollution and glare by regulating light power and brightness, shielding, and sensor controls. Impacts
Visual Resources. Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) and VIA Checklist Prepare a visual impact assessment checklist using the Caltrans Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) Guide (Chapter 27 of the SER), and determine what level of visual impact analysis will be required for the project. Prepare a Visual Impact Assessment in memo form. For this task it is assumed Caltrans will not require more than the checklist and memo. An abbreviated Visual Assessment with optional visual simulations is not anticipated.
