Common use of Visual Impacts Clause in Contracts

Visual Impacts. It is not anticipated that the project will adversely affect any Designated Scenic Resources (such as rock outcroppings, historic properties, tree groupings, etc.) as defined by the CEQA statutes or guidelines or by Caltrans policy. Highway planting may be disturbed during construction. The project is not anticipated to result in long-term visual impacts if the removed plantings are replaced. Contractor staging areas will be least preferable where they are in proximity to residential development or directly adjacent to an officially designated State Scenic Highway. During construction operations, unsightly material or equipment in staging areas will be placed where it is less visible and/or covered where possible. Construction activities will limit all construction lighting to within the area of work and will avoid light trespass into residential areas through the use of directional lighting, shielding, and other measures as needed.
