potential impacts to these resources. If any exist, an appropriate site survey of high probability areas is needed to address the issue in more detail. The mitigation plan must include mitigation for any impacts identified. Prime or unique farmlands. The extent of conversion of existing farmlands anticipated in the AUAR should be described. If any farmland will be preserved by special protection programs, this should be discussed. Designated parks, recreation areas, or trails. If development of the AUAR will interfere or change the use of any existing such resource, this should be described in the AUAR. The RGU may also want to discuss under this item any proposed parks, recreation areas, or trails to be developed in conjunction with development of the AUAR area. Scenic views and vistas. Any impacts on such resources present in the AUAR should be addressed. This would include both direct physical impacts and impacts on visual quality or integrity. "EAW Guidelines: contains a list of possible scenic resources (page 20). 26. Adverse visual impacts. If any non-routine visual impacts would occur from the anticipated development, this should be discussed here along with appropriate mitigation. 27. Compatibility with Plans. The AUAR must include a statement of certiiication from the RGU that its comprehensive plan complies with the requirements set out at 4410.3610, subpart 1. The AUAR document should discuss the proposed AUAR area development in the context of the comprehensive plan. If this has not been done as part of the responses to items 6,9,18,21, and others, it must be addressed here; a brief synopsis should be presented here if the material has been presented in detail under other items. Necessary amendments to comprehensive plan elements to allow for any of the development scenarios should be noted. If there are any management plans of any other local, state, or federal agencies applicable to the AUAR area, the document must discuss the compatibility of the plan with the various development scenarios studied, with emphasis on any incompatible elements. 28. Impact on infrastructure and public services. This item should iirst of all summarize information on physical infrastructure presented under items (such 6, 17, 18 and 21). Other major infrastructure or public services not covered under other items should be discussed as well — this includes major social services such as schools, police, fire, etc. The RGU must be careful to include project-associated infrastructure as an explicit part of the AUAR review if it is to exempt from project-specific review in the future. 29. Cumulative impacts. This item does not require a response for an AUAR with respect to cumulative impacts of potential developments within the AUAR boundaries, since the entire AUAR process is intended to deal with cumulative impacts from related developments within the AUAR area; it is presumed that the responses to all items on the EAW form encompass the impacts from all anticipated developments within the AUAR area. However, the questions of this item should be answered with respect to the cumulative impacts of development within the AUAR boundaries combined with past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects outside of the AUAR area, where such cumulative :
