Vantage to Pomona Heights Chapter 3 <br />230 kV Transmission Line Project FEIS Affected Environment <br /> PAGE 3-211 <br />route segment would potentially be intermittently viewed at a distance in the middleground and <br />background, primarily, as it parallels I-82. As the line follows the boundary of the JBLM YTC, the route <br />segment would be within the immediate foreground and foreground view of residences located on the <br />southwest side of Badger Pocket (KOP 19 - Badger Pocket: Silka Road; KOP 20 - Upper Badger Pocket <br />Road). The Umtanum Ridge Water Gap NNL (access road on the east side of SR-821) is located in the <br />background within the Project study area and views are typically screened by topography. <br />The visual influence of developed features is limited to the I-82 corridor, including the parking areas of <br />the MR Viewpoints. No existing transmission lines occur in the vicinity of this route segment except at <br />each end of the route segment where it diverges or converges with the existing Pomona-Wanapum 230 <br />kV transmission line. However, a distribution line that services communication facilities west of the MR <br />Viewpoint and a cell tower are located west of I-82 within the viewshed of the I-82 corridor.
