Avoidance and Minimization Clause Samples

Avoidance and Minimization. The work locations associated with the project have been minimized to the extent feasible, while still allowing the work to proceed in a safe manner. To further minimize any potential impacts to covered plants, the work areas at Locations B, D, E, and the temporary staging area will be surrounded by fencing to delineate the work area boundary. This fencing will consist of rope and t-posts, orange construction fencing, or similar high visibility fencing. On the steep slopes downslope of the Location D work area, silt fencing may be installed to minimize the potential for sediments to roll downslope. Work activities at Location D will take place within a population of smooth lessingia and most-beautiful jewelflower. These populations are very extensive as shown on Figures 6 and 7, and connect with documented occurrences for smooth Lessingia and for most-beautiful jewelflower at the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Dam Spillway (CNDDB Occurrences 6 and 87, respectively). Impacts to these covered plant populations are expected to be less than 5% of the total occurrence as due to the limited number of plants within the work area relative to the larger occurrence and suitable habitat in the area. Per the HCP, impacts to less than 5% of the total occurrence for these plant species do not require monitoring, nor will it count as a permanent impact. Coyote ceanothus impacts are expected to be less than 5% of the total occurrence, but per the HCP, follow up monitoring by the Implementing Entity (Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ Valley Habitat Agency) is required. It is expected that this monitoring will occur for a 5-year period post-construction.

Avoidance and Minimization. PROCEDURES (AMPs)

Avoidance and Minimization. 1. The City, in consultation with Signatories and Invited Signatories, will take all appropriate steps proportionate to its jurisdiction to ensure that historic properties determined eligible for listing in the NRHP are avoided and preserved in place before the City conducts or authorizes activities under the Proposal that would diminish the integrity of such properties. 2. As the Proposal is being implemented, if the City in consultation with the Signatories and Invited Signatories, determines that a proposed development application would diminish the integrity of an historic property located within the APE, the City will explore alternatives to avoid adversely affecting historic properties eligible for the NRHP in consultation with TVA and the TN SHPO, and consult with these agencies to resolve the potential for adverse effect. 3. If the City determines that avoidance of adverse effect is not economically prudent or technically feasible, the City will consult with TVA and the TN SHPO to determine a course of action that will minimize any adverse project- related effects to historic properties. TVA will present this course of action to Signatories and Invited Signatories for review and comment. The City will submit supporting documentation to TVA and then TVA will distribute the minimization proposal to the Signatories and Invited Signatories for review and comment. Within fifteen (15) days of receiving each proposal, the Signatories and Invited Signatories shall provide TVA with their review comments. Failure to respond within the fifteen (15) days will indicate concurrence with the recommendations of the minimization proposal.

Avoidance and Minimization. The CRNRA determined that it cannot fully determine that effects on historic properties prior to approval of the Trails Management Plan undertakings. The CRNRA will seek to avoid adverse effects to all types of historic properties, with input from the SHPO, Tribes, and Consulting Parties received during annual consultation meetings and comments during standard Section 106 consultation for all undertakings. Avoidance measures for historic properties may include (but are not limited to) rerouting trail alignments, fencing known sites for protection during construction, monitoring of construction near site areas within a buffer zone, or placing infrastructure outside of site boundaries. A. Measures to avoid or minimize potential adverse effects from the undertakings may include, but are not limited to, those that are designed to prevent trail use such as changing the trail or destination location, installing closure signs or physical barriers, and conducting site stabilization efforts. Additional mitigation measures could include historical research, interpretation, photographic documentation, intensive recording, periodic monitoring, and archaeological excavation. Trail and destination designation decisions will also be revisited as necessary. B. The CRNRA will continue to dedicate available staff, funding, and other resources to proactively promote and enforce responsible trail uses and ethics. Such efforts will include continuing to support campaigns to reduce vandalism and unauthorized collections of archaeological resources.

Avoidance and Minimization. Lessee shall at all times engage in appropriate avoidance and minimization measures to prevent the unlawful take, possession, or destruction of any protected species.

Avoidance and Minimization. Lessee shall at all time engage in appropriate avoidance and minimization measures to prevent the unlawful take, possession or destruction of any protected species. This includes birds-of-prey, and the take, possession or destruction of the eggs and nests of any such bird. The County of Sacramento Department of Waste Management and Recycling (▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇; Phone: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, Fax: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇) will be contacted concerning any questions related to this paragraph. The Department of Waste Management and Recycling will be contacted before any tree is removed or pruned to ensure that appropriate nest tree avoidance and minimization measures are implemented.
