Title: Consider facility ridgetop visibility.
Text: "Natural Gas Operations: 1. Location: c. Ridgetop facilities are highly visible from great distances because they are skylined. Roads, on the other hand, may be less visible if located along ridgetops, but if they are located on the ridge face they can be highly visible because of increased cut, fill and sidecast material."
