Vantage to Pomona Heights Chapter 2 230 kV Transmission Line Project FEIS Proposed Action and Alternatives PAGE 2-53 TR-6: Flaggers will be employed as necessary to direct traffic when large equipment is exiting or entering public roads to minimize the risk of accidents, as detailed in a WSDOT approved Traffic Management Plan. A Traffic Management Plan will be necessary if construction vehicles will be entering/exiting I-82 outside of interchange areas or if flaggers are needed. TR-7: Pacific Power personnel and its contractors will be required to adhere to speed limits commensurate with road types, traffic volumes, vehicle types and site-specific conditions to ensure safe and efficient traffic flow. TR-8: During and following construction and as necessary to maintain safe driving conditions, any damage to existing roadways caused by construction vehicles will be repaired. Repairs will be coordinated as appropriate with WSDOT, the appropriate landowner, land management agencies and/the applicable county public works departments. TR-9: To reduce impacts on roads where direct access from roadways is allowed, stabilized construction access areas adjacent to roads would be used and would consist of a pad of aggregate rock underlain with geotextile fabric, crushed rock, steel rumble pad, or equivalent per applicable agency-approved best management practice. Whenever practicable, access pads would be sloped downward into the disturbed area to prevent dust, soil, and gravel discharges onto the roadway. TR-10: If sediment is tracked off-site, roads would be cleaned thoroughly by shoveling or sweeping at the end of each day and more frequently, if necessary. Removed sediment would be transported to an appropriate disposal area. TR-11: During and following construction and as necessary to maintain safe driving conditions, any damage to the private Sage Trail Road and bridge caused by construction vehicles will be repaired to pre- construction conditions or better. Repairs will be coordinated as appropriate with the Sage Trail Road homeowners’ representatives or entities responsible for Sage Trail Road and bridge maintenance. 2.3.5 Visual Resources VIS-1: No paint or permanent discoloring agents will be applied to rocks or vegetation to indicate limits of survey or construction activity. VIS-2: In residential areas, the structures will be placed, to the extent practicable, in such a way as to reduce the visual impact on the residences and inhabitants. VIS-3: Pacific Power will locate construction staging areas away from visually sensitive locations. Pacific Power and its contractor(s) will be responsible for determining appropriate staging locations in coordination with the private landowners, the appropriate land management agencies and other federal, state, and local authorizing entities. VIS-4: Pacific Power will locate new access roads within previously disturbed areas wherever possible. VIS-5: Pacific Power’s contractors will maintain a clean construction site, with litter being removed daily and all related equipment and materials being removed following completion of construction activities. VIS-6: To reduce visual contrasts caused by glare created by standard aluminum conductors (wires), Pacific Power will use non-specular conductors.
