<br />Fish Creek Reservoir Expansion EIS <br /><.:..:;:;~:;:??~$:w~&~m:<<~::.~~-7.~1;~.<<'::;:;::';:;';.;&:::;.;$W~~,:::::.;.r~?,....>:w,.;.,~;~W,~Y&"-:W"~...;W'&;:';~:?:::< <br /> <br />. Access Roads/Parking Lot: Road Cor~idor Option 1 would have the least adverse <br />effects on visual resources. Roads should be located and designed to minimize CUt <br />and fill. The tops of cut slopes should be rounded to fit in with natural landforms. <br />Vegetation would be planted to screen the access roads, parking lot and boat ramp <br />from FDR 310. <br /> <br />. Revegetation: All ground disturbance would be revegetated as soon as possible <br />after construction, including the powerline right-of-way. All roadway cut and fill <br />slopes would be reseeded as soon as possible. <br /> <br />. Borrow Areas: Panicular emphasis should be placed on restoring the borrow areas <br />near the proposed campground to a condition as close as possible to natural <br />conditions. This could include planting with several different grass species and <br />replacing rocks and small boulders to recreate the existing level of visual variety. <br /> <br />. Construction Camp: The construction camp should be located in areas thar <br />would be inundated or disturbed by other activities, such as the borrow areas. The <br />construction camp should not be located in the proposed campground site to avoid <br />disturbing existing vegetation. <br /> <br />. Campground: As discussed in previous sections, the existing Granite Campground <br />would be re-designed and re-Iocated to meet Forest Service specifications and <br />incorporate Forest Service visual quality objectives. <br /> <br />. Clearing: Tree clearing associated with all project features, including the dams, <br />roads, campground, and powerline construction should be minimized. The existing <br />vegetation above the reservoir high water line and at the toe and sides of the dam <br />should be retained, where possible. The edges of any tree clearing should be <br />feathered, especially for access roads and the powerline. <br /> <br />. Spillway: Cut slopes in bedrock should have a broken-faced finish to increase <br />texture. The spillway should be designed to match natural contours, where <br />possible. <br /> <br />. Power Cubicles: Power cubicles should be painted a medium-value, olive green <br />to blend boxes into surroundings. Cubicles should be screened and located out of <br />sight, where possible, such that the Forest Service visual quality objectives are met. <br /> <br />. Mitigation: Any structures required for fish and wildlife habitat or for wetland <br />mitigation should be designed to reduce contrast with natural form, line, color, and <br />texture, such as the use of rock facing or striations on concrete structures. <br /> <br />. Construction: All construction-related debris should be removed from the site <br />between construction seasons and at the end of construction. Fugitive dust <br />problems should be minimized by the use of water or other Forest Service <br />approved techniques, especially along the Buffalo Pass Road. Use of night lighting <br />should be minimized. <br /> <br />~'7.m.=:;:::;:;:;;";:;m..<:::~~.x~~::m~,:.:.:.:.:<<.~~m~>>$:..~~:m~<:::;:;~"'<<$::~'::'1~,%>m~,,*,"'$;:;&:W4:~;::::;'~:>>::::;?~a~.::m::~ <br /> <br />P.ge 4.52 <br /> <br />September 1993 <br />
