The Visual Resources Assessment Procedure (VRAP) was developed to provide U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' personnel with a systematic procedure for incorporating aesthetic considerations into corps activities. To promote consistency in addressing aesthetics, VRAP was developed to provide credible procedures and guidance that can be implemented with field office capabilities. The procedure consists of two parts: the Management Classification System for classifying existing visual quality and establishing visual criteria and constraints for proposed water resource developments, and the Visual Impact Assessment procedures for measuring the visual impact of proposed projects. The VRAP was field tested in four corps planning studies, and revisions were made based on the field tests.
