This report documents the field-evaluation of the advanced camouflage technology researched and described in the Draft Field Guide for the Use of Color to Mitigate Visual Impacts. The suitability of this technology as a visual mitigation Best Management Practice for energy development such as oil and gas, solar, and other renewable energy is described in this report and includes documentation on the effectiveness, application process, pros, cons, cost/labor, and future opportunities.
This document provides a record of the evaluation methods used to test two types of materials and patterns to create different camouflage applications. The information gathered during this testing and analysis will assist BLM Field Office staff with communicating to proponents about the benefits of using color and camouflage for visual mitigation and will help them better understand the steps, material, and equipment involved in the process.
