Scenic Quality. Distribution of<br />

scenic quality within the Gold Butte<br />

ACEC is:<br />

• Scenic Quality A:<br />

Approximately 60%<br />

• Scenic Quality B:<br />

Approximately 30%<br />

• Scenic Quality C:<br />

0% (scenic quality for the<br />

Dry Lake SEZ area)<br />

• Not inventoried, but within<br />

VRI Class I (wilderness area):<br />

Approximately 10%<br />

The mix of scenic quality within<br />

the Gold Butte ACEC (Figure 8) is of<br />

higher value than what is present at<br />

the Dry Lake SEZ indicating that any<br />

resource restoration that visually<br />

complements the landscape will<br />

likely have a higher public benefit<br />

in exchange for the reduction in<br />

scenic quality at the Dry Lake SEZ.<br />
