Description: In order to obtain local and state government approvals, an environmental impact analysis of the mining and reclamation of a proposed hard rock quarry was required. High visibility of the proposed mining area from the adjacent community required a visual impact analysis in the planning and design of the project. The Visual Analysis defined design criteria for the mining and reclamation plans to minimize adverse environ-mental impacts and encourage long-term beneficial land use. Visual analysis provided an additional tool for the citizens, local government, and state government officials to evaluate the proposed mining activity.
