The study was commissioned by IPC and conducted by David Evans and Associates, Inc. (DEA), and its purpose was to evaluate the effects of Pro- ject facilities and operations on the aesthetic environment within the Study Area. The Project is located on the Snake River, the largest river in Idaho, in the southern portion of Hells Canyon. The Project includes Brownlee, Oxbow, and Hells Canyon reservoirs and the dams, powerhouses, and appurtenant facilities associated with the reservoirs. The Study Area in- cludes the Project and adjacent lands, the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area (HCNRA), and 14 transmission lines that cover approximately 658 miles and extend through northeastern Oregon and southwestern and southern Idaho. Because most of the public land in the Study Area is under either Bureau of Land Management (BLM) or US Forest Service (USFS) jurisdiction, the protocols for visual resource assessment used by these two agencies were used to conduct the study. The BLM’s protocol is called Visual Resource Management (VRM) and relies on a Visual Contrast Rating to determine the visual condition of a landscape. The USFS’s protocol is called Scenery Management System (SMS) and relies on an assessment of landscape character and scenic integrity to determine the visual and aesthetic condition of a landscape.
