FINAL KEY OBSERVATION POINTS AND VISUAL CONTRAST 1

RATING WORKSHEETS 2 3 The following table provides a listing of all Key Observation Points (KOPs) as they appear along the 4 Southline Transmission Line corridor (starting from the Afton Substation, traversing along the 5 Proponent’s Preferred Alternative, Proponent’s Alternative Southern line and Agency Alternatives). 6 The table is followed by Visual Contrast Rating Worksheets that were developed subsequent to field 7 investigation(s) that occurred in May through August 2012 with supplemental specific field verifications 8 taking place from May through August 2013. The development of the KOPs listed below, was a 9 compilation of desktop analysis (through the use of digital elevation mapping and GIS to create a broad 10 overview of topographic characteristics of the analysis area), followed by field verification which 11 included landscape photographic cataloging of the entire analysis area including all alternatives, and 12 completion of the technical analysis including BLM worksheets (for Scenic Quality, Sensitivity, and 13 Visual Contrast). The final selection of KOPs included a rigorous evaluation of locations to ensure that 14 the appropriate coverage of the analysis area was performed. The KOPs were ultimately used as 15 representative reference points from which the analysis was conducted and aesthetic conditions and 16 environmental impacts were disclosed in the DEIS. 17 18 Table I-1. Key Observation Points Identified 19

KOP ID Simulated Description and Rationale

P1-01 No View represents the Afton Substation from background. Approximately 6 miles from the San Jose Catholic Church Historical Site and VRI/VRM Class II, High Sensitivity, Class B Scenic Quality. Approximately 8 miles from Aden Lava Flow (VRI/VRM Class III).

P2-01 Yes 2.2 miles from Aden Hills OHV, simulation represents VRI/VRM Class III OHV area.

P2-02 No View from West Potrillo Mountains directly adjacent to VRI/VRM Class II, High Sensitivity, Class B Scenic Quality lands.

P2-03 No Located near several private properties outside of BLM lands on the county boundary (between Luna and Dona Ana counties). This view is from NM 549, approximately 0.36 mile from an existing monopole line, and 0.6 mile from existing railroad tracks. Recommend elimination of this KOP as it is similar to P2-04 and represents low sensitivity views.

P2-04 Yes This view is from within the I-10 transportation corridor approximately 0.85 mile from the proposed line and is located within/adjacent to VRI/VRM Class III landscape.

P2-05 Yes This is the closest view in the Deming area (approximately 3.7 miles due north). Several potentially sensitive receptors (including local parks, churches, cemetery and residences exist in Deming). Recommend alternative KOP selection point from within community developments just north of I-10 to identify impacts from areas of community concern. Scoping revealed 2 comments in favor of the line, and 2 comments encouraging the line to bypass Deming (and not be a pass through for utility structures). This is also the closest point to the Florida Mountains (identified as a well-used recreation area and VRI/VRM Class II).

P2-06 No View is from Padre Hill Drive NW and Overhill Drive located directly north of a residential driveway and approximately 0.5 mile from the proposed line.

P2-07 No GIS provided by CH shows KOP to be within VRI/VRM Class IV landscape and adjacent (within 500 feet of) VRI/VRM Class III landscape. This view is located along an unpaved county road at the foot of Grandmother Mountain. Additional information is needed to understand the sensitivity associated with this mountain. This roadway heads west and north and provides access to a single ranch and largely open/vacant lands. This view is 2 miles east of the CDNST which received many scoping comments of concern. Recommend reorienting KOP from CDNST and include potential sensitivities associated with Grandmother Mountain.

P2-08 No Located on a small parcel of BLM land (VRI/VRM Class IV). No immediate sensitive receptors, landscape is very rural and largely vacant. Recommend elimination due to lack of sensitivity and common scenic quality.

P3-01 No Located on non-BLM land with views to the west from Geronimo Road and Ojo Road. Rural residential area with racetrack to the northwest (approximately 0.5 mile).

Appendix I I-3


Table I-1. Key Observation Points Identified (Continued) 1


P3-02 No Florida Mountains lie 6 miles to the west and could afford direct long-distance views of the line. From the east (looking west) at the West Potrillo Mountains between 7 and 12 miles away, direct views of the line would like occur due to “superior” viewing locations and visual impacts from the substation expansion. New simulation should be oriented to the southwest to capture the proposed substation, staging area, and line.

P4-01 No View is not from BLM land and is located along a portion of the CDNST that parallels NM 90 approximately 0.25 mile northeast of the intersection with NM 70. Very few residents or destinations are located along NM 90. There is no marked trailhead located here, and landscape is characterized by large expanses of open space. Recreators seeking a solitary experience on the CDNST may use this portion of the trail.

P4-02 No Located at the intersection of Hook and Anchor Road and NM 70 (Duncan Highway). This view is oriented north approximately 0.4 mile from the proposed line. There is 1 rural residence 0.3 mile south of this view. A potential staging area is 0.45 mile northwest of this KOP on NM 70. Few sensitive receptors and common landscape character represent this view; recommend for elimination.

P5-01 Yes Located on LD-1 (bypass of Lordsburg Playa) within VRI/VRM III, Scenic Quality C, and High Sensitivity. Recommend consideration of agency alternative for this KOP.

P5-02 Yes Adjacent to VRI/VRM Class II, Scenic Quality B, High sensitivity lands, located in VRI/VRM Class III. View is located in a wash southwest of Peloncillo Mountains. Simulation is rendered 2.3 miles from proposed line, views of Chiracahua Mountains in the background DZ (beyond 20 miles south).

P6-01 No Located 6 miles from VRI/VRM Class II landscape, and 8 miles from Dos Cabezas. View is from residential community within town of Bowie.

P6-02 No View is from roadway that accesses Ft. Bowie. Recommend replacing with KOP that includes Ft. Bowie, Dos Cabezas Mountains and other scenic features.

P6-03 Yes View is oriented 0.5 mile from VRM Class II lands looking north away from Dos Cabezas toward Pinaleo Mountains. Jurisdiction of land needs to be confirmed. Recommend re-orientation of KOP or elimination.

P7-01 No This view is due west of Willcox Playa, Dos Cabezas Mountains are 180 degrees east from this point. View is 0.5 mile from line, proposed staging area would be in the immediate foreground.

P7-02 Yes Not on BLM lands. Approximately 2 miles from edge of Willcox Playa and 4 miles north of Butterfield Trail. Surrounded by agricultural fields. Facing NNW

P7-03 No 1.4 miles from BLM Class II VRI/VRM on west side of Willcox Playa. KOP oriented 8 miles from line to the SE and 1 mile from agency route alternative (unstudied). Recommend further study.

S1-01 Yes No highly sensitive receptors. Unnecessary to simulate. Class IV BLM lands.

S1-02 No View from foot of Kilbourne Hole. Does not capture the feature.

S2-01 Yes Largely not supported by public. Unnecessary to simulate

S3-01 Yes View is located along Hwy 9 and is oriented westward along roadway. Simulation shows structures on south side and parallel to the road along the proponent’s alternative. View is located outside of any sensitive locations, or unique landscape.

S4-01 No View is located approximately 2.2 miles from the proponent’s alternative line and 2.5 miles from the US/Mexican Border. Landscape is largely flat and common, few sensitive viewers are located in this area as it is highly monitored by Border Patrol.

S5-01 No View is located along Hwy 9 oriented southward away from the community of Columbus. This view does not represent a sensitive location.

S5-02 Yes View is 1.26 miles from the proponent’s alternative line and simulation shows a “superior” view from atop a mountain within the Pancho Villa State Park (just southwest of Columbus). Recommend further determination of park users and sensitivity from this location.

S5-03 No Though located 43 miles to the west, this view is very similar to S5-01 and does not represent a sensitive viewpoint or distinctive lands.

S6-01 No Also located on Hwy 9, view is representative of a slightly different landscape character than S5-03 but does not represent sensitive viewing conditions.

I-4 Appendix I

Southline Transmission Line Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Resource Management Plan Amendment Table I-1. Key Observation Points Identified (Continued) 1


S7-01 No Very similar view to S5-03

S7-02 Yes Simulation shows view from Hachita oriented northward within a rural residential community.

S7-03 No View is over 0.5 mile north of Hachita oriented toward the town. 180 degrees north of the viewpoint is a large proposed staging area. Suggest reorientation of the KOP to include analysis of the staging area.

S7-04 No View is located immediately adjacent to the CDNST and is 0.5 mile from the proponent’s alternative.

S7-05 No View is located 1.5 miles from proponent’s alternative, and is indicative of a slightly more vegetated landscape, however no sensitive viewers are located nearby.

S8-01 Yes Located along I-10 and simulation depicts proponent’s alternative crossing the I-10 at a perpendicular angle.

S8-02 No Located Muir Road, view is oriented to the south looking toward agricultural fields.

U1-01 Yes On the edge of Coronado NF but facing N (away from Forest). No public sensitivity. Suggest elimination. Simulation does not included entire structure in the frame, pole appears square, simulation viewpoint appears too close to line.

U2-01 No Good simulation point. 0.5 mile from line; 3.5 miles from alternative. KOP located on western edge of residential area between Hwy 80 and I-10. Scoping comments revealed concern with re-route along preferred line because of planned improvements, growth, etc.

U2-02 No Dark Star Rd. recently paved with turn-offs indicating additional future roads/development. Currently 1 ranch, no other sensitive viewers, existing "H" frame in middleground.

U2-03 Yes Suggest alternative simulation location from Mescal area (residential). This KOP is too close to line

U2-04 No Located on Navajo Trail Road. Low density residential homesteads with existing views of "H" frames. Same KOP as H-03

U3-03 No Located along SR 83. Would be a good simulation point

U3-04 Yes Simulation is too close to line. Spans look too close, parabolic curve is too straight. Keep simulation but revise accordingly.

U3-05 No Fairgrounds are 0.8 mile from E. Dawn Road, parking lot and raceways are located closest to the line (lowest sensitivity viewers are represented from this viewpoint)

U3-06 Yes Potential EJ community to the south. This simulation is too close to the line, should be from within Mobile Home park. Lines need sag.

U3-07 No 1.5 miles from line. Line is not visible from this location.

U3-08 No View is representative of bike users along Santa Cruz Bikeway.

U3-09 No Too close to line. Representative view from residential area would be more valuable.

U3-10 Yes Good representation of Kennedy Park. But simulation is very close to line. Need to verify 12k feeder (looks too close to upgrade).

U3-11 Yes KOP is 0.11 mile from line. Simulated poles look to be over 3 times higher than existing "H" frames, verify accuracy of simulation.

U3-12 No Sentinel Peak, good point to simulate for route alternatives.

U3-13 Yes KOP shows historic fence. Scale of poles looks off from this point the line is 700 feet away and would be perpendicular to viewer. Need to check scale and angle of simulation.

U3-14 No Suggest elimination

U3-15 No KOP shows multiple T line congestion but does not represent public sensitivity (very few receptors)

U3-16 No KOP from Silverbell Golf Course links facing west

U3-17 Yes KOP from Christopher Columbus park, would be better to represent nearby residences.

Appendix I I-5


Table I-1. Key Observation Points Identified (Continued) 1


U3-18 No Few/no rural residences along this road. Residences are located to the southwest. Suggest elimination.

U3-19 No Good simulation point. The only point that represents Saguaro NP, approximately 2 miles from line.

U3-20 No Too close to line. KOP should be from within residential area

U3-21 No View from parking lot.

U3-22 Yes Good simulation, but represents a very specific point of interest.

U3-23 Yes Silverbell Rd simulation.

U3-24 No Would be a good simulation spot to show impacts to new residential area.

A-01 No View is located along unpaved county road and is oriented to the north. Represents low sensitivity and common landscape. Recommend elimination.

B-01 No Same as S4-01.

C-01 No Same as S6-01

D-01 No Not BLM land. 0.6 mile north of proponent’s alternative and BLM Class IV; SQ-C; VRM-IV. Located on Muir Rd adjacent to agricultural fields and rural residential. Public sensitivity is low. Suggest elimination. Similar view as S8-02

D-02 Yes Pyramid Shadows Rd. Rural Residential on private land. KOP is from roadway. Sensitive receptors not identified.

E-01 Yes Same as P5-01

E-02 No Town of San Simon, sensitive residential receptors. VRI/VRM III; SQ-B; SL-High. Major transportation route with scenic areas and provides connection from Las Cruces to Tucson.

F-01 Yes Located 0.25 mile from alternative route. From intersection of N. Central and E. Arizona St. in the town of Bowie. No public comments came from Bowie during scoping. North of the alternative line is agricultural fields and limited homes. Concentrated residential over 0.25 mile north of I-10 at Apache Pass Rd. exit. Surrounded by agricultural lands. Proponent preferred should be further considered as it avoids the community nearly 2 miles to the south. Simulation should be to the south of the preferred. See P06-01; P06-02

F-02 No View is 0.5 mile from alternative and 2.7 miles from preferred. KOP faces due south. Limited visual sensitivity in this area due to lack of receptors

G-01 No Not on BLM lands. Cascabel Road with views of DC in the background. Does not include WC-1, Proponent Alternative, or PP (is beyond 8 miles)

G-02 No Same as P7-03

G-03 Yes This KOP is unclear as to where/why/what in the Cochise area, there is somewhat denser residential along the western edge of the Playa surrounded by agricultural lands. KOP is within BE-2a which bypasses Willcox Playa also does not consider Apache Substation upgrade. This is the last KOP to capture the new build.

H-01 Yes Suggest elimination - view is not in right direction, need to look at alternative line

H-02 No Butterfield crossing in immediate foreground. 0.15 mile from AA. Very rural residential

H-03 No Same KOP as U2-04

BE-01 No Located on the access road to the Empirita Ranch in Pima County just south of Interstate 10.

BE-02 No View is located along I-10 in the area of Texas Canyon, viewpoint should represent Texas Canyon and the Little Dragoon Foothills as this is likely the most highly scenic segment within the entire analysis area.

BE-03 No Located in the community of Benson to the north adjacent to ranches, a golf course, and several rural developments.

BE-04 No Located just south of the reservoir and bird viewing area within Benson.

WC-01 No View should be oriented from the Wings over Willcox staging area to illustrate what visual impacts the line would have for viewers looking northward.

I-6 Appendix I

Southline Transmission Line Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Resource Management Plan Amendment Table I-1. Key Observation Points Identified (Continued) 1


LD-01 No View from the town of San Simon looking toward the agency route alternative. Should be located outside of representative ROW.

LD-02 No View of the Butterfield Trail and Peloncillo foothills should be combined to show potential public exposure of agency route alternative within this area.

LD-03 No Located north of LD-3 viewpoint should illustrate change to landscape character unit that is located just north of Lordsburg Playa.

TH1-01 No Located at the intersection of Greasewood and Anklam Rd. View would represent changes to the existing neighborhood views with the introduction of TH-1 route alternative.

TH1-02 Yes Current simulation from Sentinel Peak shows preferred line, simulation should be adjusted to show TH-1a alignment (along Greasewood Road),.

TH1-S1 No View would be of the proposed line rebuilt (Segment U3) where the existing “H” frame structures are located from the vantage of W. Starr Pass Road. From this viewpoint, the proposed structures would be visible against the sky and would also be visible within the vicinity of Tumamoc Hill.

TH1-S2 Yes View from Sentinel Peak within the Tumamoc Hill area oriented toward the agency alternative (or TH3 River Route).

TH1-S3 Yes View located along W. Starr Pass Blvd. transmission structures and lines associated with TH1-A would be visible with Tumamoc Hill in the background.

TH1-S4 Yes Located just south of the Tolson Elementary School on Greasewood road, providing view of the agency alternative that runs north on Greasewood Road to avoid the Tumamoc Hill area.

TH1-S5 No View is located within the residential area (West Calle Tonala) just west of Greasewood Road and the proposed agency alternative that avoids Tumamoc Hill (TH1a).

TH1-S6 No Located north of the Tumamoc Hill area from the residential area on Speedway Road oriented to the south toward the Tumamoc Hill area. From this area the project alternative would be parallel to the viewing angle and would be visible against the open sky within Tumamoc Hill.

AN-04 No Representative view from within the River Route (TH3) showing existing structures and proposed SLT structures. Additional information regarding the structure type may be required from Western.

AN-12 No Represents view of Segment U3 from planned recreation trail (N. Aguirre Rd. west of Pinal Airpark).

MA-01 No Represents the agency route alternative that diverges from the existing line and by-passes Marana Airport.

MA-02

No Represents view (of Segment U3) from Avra Road (primary access to Saguaro NP).

MA-03

No Represents view of Segment U3 from Marana Airport and Skyline Restaurant (well visited local/regional attraction).

SA-01 No View of the proposed alignment (Segment U3) to the north and northeast from use trails in Saguaro NP.
