Appendix R2.20 Visual Resources

This appendix presents data supporting the analysis in Volume IV, Chapter IV.20. This appendix is organized as follows.

 Section R2.20.1 – No Action Alternative: Tables R2.20-1 through R2.20-4  Section R2.20.2 – Preferred Alternative: Tables R2.20-5 through R2.20-8  Section R2.20.3 – Alternative 1: Tables R2.20-9 through R2.20-12  Section R2.20.4 – Alternative 2: Tables R2.20-13 through R2.20-16  Section R2.20.5 – Alternative 3: Tables R2.20-17 through R2.20-20  Section R2.20.6 – Alternative 4: Tables R2.20-21 through R2.20-24

Note on Rounding of Data. the following general rounding rules were applied to calculated values: values greater than 1,000 were rounded to nearest 1,000; values less than 1,000 and greater than 100 were rounded to the nearest 100; values of 100 or less were rounded to the nearest 10, and therefore totals may not sum due to rounding. in cases where subtotals are provided, the subtotals and the totals are individually rounded. the totals are not a sum of the rounded subtotals; therefore the subtotals may not sum to the total within the table.
