Screening methods typically include a vegetative barrier no less than five feet high or other natural materials. Applying shields to street and parking lot lamps directs the light to the ground surface where it's wanted, not into the adjacent neighborhood.

This measure has been followed and will continue to apply. This measure has been followed and will continue to apply. The most offensive visual characteristics of construction, and possible mitigating actions are: • Soil erosion leading to sediment movement off -site - Item 16 spelled -out a mitigation element to control on -site erosion and off -site sedimentation. • Access streets and roads covered with dirt and gravel/rocks - The erosion and sediment control program will include egress gravel wash pads and will contain a daily sweeping plan for roads affected by construction traffic. • Swirling dust caused by earth -moving activity on dry soil - A water truck will be available on site to spray areas experiencing dust movement. This will be especially critical on the sandy soils prevalent on 25 Mitigation Plan Update - 2018 November 2018
