LTS <br /> WQCF site or potential pumping station sites would be <br /> considered a scenic vista.Therefore,development of the project <br /> K would not alter or obscure views of a scenic vista.This impact <br /> would be less than significant. <br /> m <br /> v 4.2-2:Damage to Scenic Resources within a State Scenic LTS No mitigation is necessary. LTS <br /> pHighway.No state scenic highways are located within the <br /> 0 vicinity of the project area.Therefore,implementation of the <br /> project would not result in damage to scenic resources along a <br /> 0 state scenic highway.This impact would be less than significant. <br /> 0 <br /> CD 4.2-3:Impacts on Existing Visual Character.Implementation LTS No mitigation is necessary. LTS <br /> 0 of the proposed project would result in an increase in the number <br /> C/, of structures at the WQCF site and would result in the <br /> construction of pumping stations and a side-bank outfall <br /> D structure.WQCF facilities would be similar in size and mass to <br /> existing structures and would appear to blend with existing <br /> cn <br /> facilities at the WQCF.Pumping station and side-bank outfall <br /> facilities would also be similar in size and mass to existing <br /> facilities and would appear to blend with existing residences and <br /> v Cn <br /> mm outfall structures.Therefore,the project would not substantially <br /> v � <br /> LTS=Less than Significant S=Significant PS=Potentially Significant SU=Significant and Unavoidable <br />
