Gauges will be placed in previously disturbed, non-sensitive areas. Additionally, at El Capitan a telemetry system (data logger/spread spectrum radio in a 12 inch by 14 inch locked box, solar panel and antenna will be mounted to one of the rain collection poles and appropriately camouflaged to reduce this temporary impact to the beach viewshed.
