The visual impacts of construction on a scale that will occur at RTC over several years <br />will be difficult to mitigate, but several measures to minimize the impact will be <br />followed. The most offensive visual characteristics of construction, and possible <br />mitigating actions are: <br />• Soil erosion leading to sediment movement off -site - Item 16 spelled -out a <br />mitigation element to control on -site erosion and off -site sedimentation. <br />• Access streets and roads covered with dirt and gravel/rocks - The erosion and <br />sediment control program will include egress gravel wash pads and will contain a <br />daily sweeping plan for roads affected by construction traffic. <br />• Swirling dust caused by earth -moving activity on dry soil - A water truck will be <br />available on site to spray areas experiencing dust movement. This will be <br />especially critical on the sandy soils prevalent on site. <br />• Construction equipment and temporary trailers - Every effort will be made to <br />screen immobile equipment and to park mobile equipment in a visually sheltered <br />location at the end of the working day. <br />• Exposed soil - One of the essential elements in the erosion and sediment control <br />plan will be rapid stabilization, covering and re -vegetation of exposed soils. <br />Although some exposed soil will be impossible to avoid, every attempt will be <br />made to minimize exposure. <br />26-2 <br />
