Forest Service Roadless Area Conservation Final Environmental Impact Statement: Specialist Report for Scenic Quality
Scenic quality is based on landscape character and scenic integrity. Landscape character is the overall visual impression of landscape attributes that provide a landscape with an identity and sense of place. Scenic integrity is a measure of the wholeness or completeness of the landscape, including the degree of visual deviation from the landscape character valued by constituents. Inventoried roadless areas generally have landscapes with High to Very High scenic integrity. Analysis indicated that impacts on the scenic quality from resource management activities that require roads or other modifications of the landscape would be most severe under Alternative 1 because road construction and reconstruction would continue as planned. However, under this alternative there might be some positive effects on scenic quality from silvicultural and fuel treatments that reduce the potential magnitude of natural events such as insect infestations and wildland fires. Relative to all other alternatives, however, Alternative 1 would have a low ability to maintain scenic quality.
