Further refinement will take place following <br />selection of the proposed action. <br /> <br />Any families requiring relocation would be compensated for losses attribut- <br />able to project construction.

The open canal and power transmission <br />lines used in the West Side Plan are expected to be visible from some loca- <br />tions within these areas but it would not be a dominant feature of the view. <br />The canal would be about 1 mile from the nearest viewing point along Kinney <br />Road in the Saguaro National Monument and about 2 miles from the Desert <br />Museum. A mitigation plan to reduce visual impacts will be developed after <br />the proposed action is selected and may include such concepts as revegeta- <br />tion, landscaping, and land contouring. <br /> <br />11 <br />
