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. Stipulation: In order to retain the existing character of the landscape (VRM Class II Objective), oil and gas development activities will be located, designed, constructed, operated, and reclaimed so that activities should not attract attention to the casual observer within 2 years from initiation of construction. This stipulation does not apply to the operation and maintenance activities. Objective: To protect visual resource values while allowing energy development and related activities to occur that have been mitigated to retain the character of the existing area.
Visual Resources. About 13,000 hectares of scenic areas are assigned with visual quality objectives within the proposed Community Forest.
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. 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:
i. All new outside lights for the expanded casino and hotel project will be 100% downcast. (May EE, p. 3-27.)
ii. Additional landscaping will be provided along the frontage to State Route 16 to screen the expanded casino from State Route 16 and surface parking lots will be enhanced with additional landscaping to increase shade and reduce ambient heat. Where feasible, the plan will employ xeriscaping. (May EE, p. 3-27.)
iii. Colors, architectural themes, and building materials will be used that are complementary to the existing natural landscape. (May EE, p. 3-27.)
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. 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. Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) and VIA Checklist
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. 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. 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):
