Table 3.8-1: Summary of Potential Land Use Effects
Impact	Manual Removal (Hand pulling and manual excavation)	Mechanical Removal (Excavation, dredging, and shredding)	Pruning, Hand-mowing, and Smothering	Flooding (Diking, drowning, salinity variation)	Burning	Herbicide Application	Beneficial Effects
LU-1: Land Use Conflicts Between Herbicide Use and Sensitive Receptors	All Alternatives: No impact.	All Alternatives: No impact.	All Alternatives: No impact.	All Alternatives: No impact.	All Alternatives: No impact.	Alternatives 1 & 3: Potentially significant impacts to sensitive receptors. These would be mitigated to less than significant by Air Quality and Human Health and Safety mitigations. Alternative 2: No impact.	N/A
LU-2: Land Use Conflicts from Mechanical and Burning Treatment Methods	All Alternatives: No impact.	All Alternatives: Minor dust impact on access roads.	All Alternatives: No impact.	All Alternatives: Minor impact.	All Alternatives: Possible smoke impacts to nearby residents. Mitigated by Air Quality mitigations.	Same as impact LU-1, above.	N/A
