Vantage to Pomona Heights Chapter 4 <br />230 kV Transmission Line Project FEIS Environmental Consequences <br /> PAGE 4-155 <br />4.5.4.18 Route Segment MR-1 <br />Route Segment Manastash Ridge (MR) 1 crosses private, state, and JBLM YTC managed lands <br />potentially open for dispersed hunting activities. Refer to impacts common to all route segments above <br />(Section 4.5.3) for potential hunting related recreation impacts along Route Segment MR-1. Low impacts <br />would occur along 11.7 miles and no identifiable impacts would occur along 0.2 mile of this route <br />segment. <br />4.5.5 Mitigation Measures <br />The following mitigation measure has been identified to reduce, avoid, minimize or rectify adverse <br />impacts to recreation resources. This mitigation measure will be implemented where warranted and is <br />anticipated to be effective, and is summarized in Table 4.5-2 below. <br />Table 4.5-2 Project Recreation Impact Mitigation Measures <br />MITIGATION MEASURE DESCRIPTION <br />REC-1: Modify Structure/ROW Location <br />Within the standard limits of structure design, single pole and H-frame structures <br />will be located so as to span or avoid sensitive features and to preserve <br />recreational uses. Avoidance measures may include structure micro-siting, <br />placing access roads and structures at the edge of park boundaries, spanning <br />features, placing structures outside of use areas, or the realigning of access <br />roads and ROW centerline. <br />4.5.6 Residual Impacts <br />To minimize the effects of Project construction and operation conflicts with recreational activity <br />displacement, mitigation measure REC-1: Modify Structure/ROW Location will be implemented in <br />specific locations as necessary. Mitigation measure REC-1 will be effective at mitigating impacts by <br />reducing the potential operational and maintenance interference and conversion of recreational areas to <br />non-recreational uses. This mitigation measure will be implemented in the following locations: <br />• Route Segment 3b: MP 17.3-19.0 <br />• Route Segment 3c: MP 19.3-19.4, 20.6-21.4 <br />• Route Segment NNR-7: MP 8.1-8.2 <br />• Route Segment NNR-8: MP 0.0-0.1 <br />Table 4.5-3 Residual impacts to Recreation by Route Segment <br />ROUTE SEGMENT RESIDUAL IMPACTS (MILES) <br />NO IDENTIFIABLE LOW MODERATE HIGH <br />1a/NNR-1 <br />2.4 miles 2.4 0 0 0 <br />1b <br />12.5 miles 12.5 0 0 0 <br />1c <br />12.9 miles 1.8 11.1 0 0 <br />2a <br />1.0 mile 0 1.0 0 0 <br />2b <br />16.4 miles 0 16.4 0 0 <br />2c <br />18.1 miles 6.5 11.6 0 0 <br />2d <br />7.0 miles 0 7.0 0 0
