| Title: |
Use landscaping to minimize visual impacts |

"Landscaping can help decrease the visual impacts of wells. For example, soil can be formed into ridges or gentle berms around the well pad, and trees and other vegetation can be planted on the ridges to screen wells so that nearby residents don't see them." |
