This project further advances the findings from previous studies for mitigating visual impacts of energy-producing facilities. The earlier color and camouflage studies developed research and quantitative analysis, including field work, on the most successful color combinations and camouflage patterns for effective visual resource mitigation on existing energy-producing facilities.
Additional data needed to be gathered and analyzed, specifically with the development and testing of new stencil technology in order to refine the patterns and application processes that were previously evaluated. This study builds on previous research to further analyze patterns, find an efficient application process, and to evaluate and document the process on a full-scale facility in the field.
