Vantage to Pomona Heights Chapter 4 230 kV Transmission Line Project FEIS Environmental Consequences PAGE 4-154 4.5.4.13 Route Segment NNR-4o/4u Route Segment NNR-4 crosses private lands and JBLM YTC managed lands potentially open for dispersed hunting activities. Refer to impacts common to all route segments above (Section 4.5.3) for potential hunting-related recreation impacts on Route Segment NNR-4. Impacts would be similar for the Overhead and Underground Design Options and would be the result of temporary construction activities displacing dispersed hunting activities for a short duration. Low impacts are expected for this entire route segment for either the Overhead or Underground Design Option. Low impacts would occur along 4.3 miles and no identifiable impacts would occur along 0.2 mile of this route segment. 4.5.4.14 Route Segment NNR-5 Route Segment NNR-5 crosses JBLM YTC managed lands potentially open for dispersed hunting activities. Refer to impacts common to all route segments above (Section 4.5.3) for potential hunting related recreation impacts on Route Segment NNR-5. Low impacts would occur for the entire 1.8 miles of this route segment. 4.5.4.15 Route Segment NNR-6o/6u Route Segment NNR-6 crosses JBLM YTC managed lands potentially open for dispersed hunting activities. Refer to impacts common to all route segments above (Section 4.5.3) for potential hunting related recreation impacts on Route Segment NNR-6. Impacts would be similar for the Overhead and Underground Design Options and would be the result of temporary construction activities displacing recreational activities for a short duration. Low impacts would occur for the entire 6.4 miles of this route segment. 4.5.4.16 Route Segment NNR-7 Route Segment NNR-7 crosses JBLM YTC managed lands potentially open for dispersed hunting activities. Refer to impacts common to all route segments above (Section 4.5.3) for potential hunting related recreation impacts along Route Segment NNR-7. Impacts to the John Wayne Trail may also occur along this route segment. Indirect short- and long-term impacts on recreational user experience related to visual resources, dust, and noise may occur and are covered in the Sections 4.8, 4.13, and 4.16, respectively. However, recreation resources associated with the John Wayne Pioneer Trail may be directly impacted in the long term if the Project displaces or converts a portion of the trail to non-recreation uses. Potential impacts would occur where the Project crosses the John Wayne Pioneer Trail at the route segment’s east end where the Project would potentially conflict with the use of the trail during construction. Short-term impacts related to the closure of the trail during construction may potentially affect trail users. Implementation of Mitigation Measure REC-1 would mitigate impacts and assure that the Project would span the trail and conversion of trail use would not occur. Low impacts would occur for 8.2 miles of this route segment. 4.5.4.17 Route Segment NNR-8 As with Route Segment NNR-7, impacts to the John Wayne Trail may occur along this route segment. Indirect short- and long-term impacts on recreational user experience related to visual resources, dust, and noise may occur and are covered in the Sections 4.8, 4.13, and 4.16, respectively. However, recreation resources associated with the John Wayne Pioneer Trail may be directly impacted in the long term if the Project displaces or converts a portion of the trail to non-recreation uses. Potential impacts would occur where the Project crosses the John Wayne Pioneer Trail, at the route segment’s west end, where the Project would potentially conflict with the use of the trail during construction. Short-term impacts related to the closure of the trail during construction may potentially affect trail users. Implementation of Mitigation Measure REC-1 would mitigate impacts and assure that the Project would span the trail and conversion of trail use would not occur. Low impacts would occur for 0.4 mile and no identifiable impacts would occur for 2.7 miles of this route segment.
