Why do the rules have language to protect scenery or “visual aesthetics”?

0

The 2009 legislation ordering the rulemaking and Executive Order 79-19 both include, among other things, direction to preserve and enhance aesthetic values of the Mississippi River and adjacent lands for public use and benefit. Additionally the statutes specifically say that the rules must protect or enhance scenic views and vistas. There is clear direction for the rules to limit the impacts of development on scenic resources in the MRCCA.
