Book excerpt: This Visual Impact Study, hereafter referred as the "study," supports the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority's (NYSERDA) New York State Great Lakes Wind Energy Feasibility Study. First, the study describes the standard procedure for conducting a visual impact assessment and how viewshed analyses would be used to help define the geographic extents of such assessments in the Great Lakes. Second, the study describes the significant factors that affect viewshed calculations and limitations, and what it means for assessments of visual impact for wind energy in the Great Lakes. Third, the study presents high-level viewshed analyses for select hypothetical turbine locations to provide a general sense of theoretical visibility in the region.
