154. (Forest Plan Standard) Prohibit management activities that are inconsistent with the visual-quality objective unless a decision is made to change the visual-quality objective. A decision to change the visual-quality objective will be documented in a project-level NEPA decision document.
155. (Forest Plan Standard) The scenic classes, which are a measure of the relative importance or value of landscapes to people, are usually accepted as the base for visual-quality objectives unless special documented circumstances warrant a change.
157. (Forest Plan Standard) Design and implement management activities to meet the adopted visual quality objective for the area shown on the VQO Map enclosed with this document.
158. (Forest Plan Goal) Rehabilitate all existing facilities and areas that do not meet the scenic-condition objectives specified for each management area. Set priorities for rehabilitation considering the following:
a. relative importance of the area and the amount of deviation from the scenic-condition objectives: "foreground" of high public-use areas has highest priority
b. length of time it will take natural processes to reduce the visual impacts so that they meet the scenic condition objective
c. length of time it will take rehabilitation measures to meet the scenic-condition objectives
d. benefits to other resource-management objectives to accomplish rehabilitation
