Cumulative Impact Clause Samples
The Cumulative Impact clause defines how multiple changes, delays, or disruptions to a project are considered collectively rather than individually when assessing their overall effect. In practice, this means that if several minor changes occur over time, their combined impact on cost, schedule, or performance is evaluated as a whole, rather than treating each change in isolation. This approach ensures that the full extent of the consequences from numerous small events is recognized, preventing parties from underestimating the total impact and helping to allocate responsibility and compensation more fairly.
Cumulative Impact. University is entitled to invoice Collaborator for its annual fee for CY21 according to the elected level, noting that the cumulative amounts for Sponsor status in Exhibit B are for three years of anticipated annual fees. Consequently, the annual fee for a given Sponsorship level is one-third of the “cumulative” amounts reflected in Exhibit B.
Cumulative Impact. All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant.
Cumulative Impact. Cumulative impact shall occur in case of implementing simultaneously Contract 3D.2/2 Expansion of the left and right embankment of the Biala River in the Tarnow Municipality and the City of Tarnow and Contract 3D.2/1 Construction of the right embankment of the Biała River in the City of Tarnów – to be implemented in the neighborhood, also under the OVFM Project. That impact shall only take place at the performance. The following may especially be accumulated: • Impact on acoustic climate; • Impact on the air. Those impacts – being tightly associated with the stage of extension for the embankments – cannot practically be eliminated. However, nuisance of those impacts shall be significantly limited due to fulfilment of obligations imposed onto the Investor in the ED. The use of embankments shall not cause accumulation of adverse impacts. In order to limit adverse impact of the planned Works Contract onto the environment, Appendix 1 to this EMP provides a list of mitigation measures, which shall be implemented prior to, during, and after completion of the construction works. Those measures have been developed based upon the conditions included in the following documents: • Environmental Impact Report for “Extension of the left embankment and of the right embankment of the Biała River in the City of Tarnów”. • Decision of the Regional Director for Environmental Protection in Cracow dated March 8, 2016, ref. no.: ST-I.4233.2.2015.MB, establishing environmental conditions for the Works Contract comprising extension of the left embankment and of the right embankment of the River Biała in the City of Tarnów. • World Bank policies: − OP/BP 4.01 – on environmental impact assessment, − OP/BP 4.04 – on natural habitats, − OP/BP 4.11 – on physical cultural resources. • Odra-Vistula Flood Management Project – Project Operations Manual, Wrocław 2015. • Odra-Vistula Flood Management Project – Environmental and Social Management Framework, Cracow 2015. They are associated with detailed guidelines for the Contractor and they need to be implemented prior to, during, and after completion of the Works Contract. A summary and general characteristics of the main categories of mitigation measures were provided below, including a breakdown into particular environmental components.

Cumulative Impact. Two other tasks are currently being carried out under the OVFMP in the area of the Gorzyce commune: − “Vistula Stage 2 - Extension of the right embankment of the Vistula River at the distance of 13.959 km, the right embankment of the San River at the distance of 2.193 km and the left embankment of the Łęg river at the distance of 0.112 km, in the municipality of Gorzyce and the municipality of Radomyśl nad Sanem, Podkarpackie province” (Contract 3B.2 Flood protection of Tarnobrzeg City) is planned for implementation in the years of 2019- 2020. − “San III - extension of the left bank of the San River at km 0+000-4+445, the municipality of Gorzyce, Podkarpackie province” (Contract 3D.1 Program for the San. Passive protection in San basin) planned for implementation in 2020-2021. The implementation site of the Works Contract 3D.3 is adjacent to the area of the first one – “Vistula Stage 2 - Extension of the right embankment of the Vistula River at the distance of 13.959 km, the right embankment of the San River at the distance of 2.193 km and the left embankment of the Łęg river at the distance of 0.112 km, in the municipality of Gorzyce and the municipality of Radomyśl nad Sanem, Podkarpackie province”, and even directly connects with it in the northern part, in the initial section of both the left (km 0+082) and right bank (km 0+000) of the Łęg River. The information presented, inter alia, in the Environmental Management Plan as well as in the environmental decisions issued for the aforementioned projects, provides that it does not involve the occurrence of significant emissions or other significant impacts on the environment, the scale of which would result in the possibility of occurrence of significant threats to the abiotic or biotic environment, even if construction works for both Contracts are conducted at the same time. It can be concluded by analyzing the mitigation measures described in the EMP documents for both projects that if construction works are carried out in accordance with the conditions contained therein, there is no risk of significant cumulative negative impacts, even if both projects are implemented at the same time in two neighboring locations. It is expected that by the time the construction works on the extension of the embankment of the River Łęg are commenced, the works on the extension of the right bank of the Vistula river in the sections adjacent to the area of the analyzed project will be completed. The area of the project “S...
Cumulative Impact. This exception applies when, although a particular project may not have a significant impact, the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant. During construction, construction equipment may result in increased noise level. However, the Project would be constructed in compliance with the City’s noise control requirements. Although not anticipated, some nightwork, weekend or holiday work may be allowed to expedite certain phases of construction and will be on a case-by-case basis per the City’s approval. Project construction may require temporary lane closures, though precise lengths and locations are currently unknown. Temporary detours would not be needed to maintain through access during construction. Temporary loss of parking may be required to construct the Project. Once construction is complete, parking is anticipated to be restored to existing conditions. Curb extensions may facilitate a permanent loss of parking. There are two street improvement projects within 0.5 miles of the Project Area that have the potential to be constructed at the same time as the Project (California Department of Transportation, 2024) (City of Los Angeles, 2024). The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Avenue Street Improvements project includes installing ADA compliant curb ramps along ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Avenue from Western Avenue to 5th Avenue. The Western Gage Median Park project is located at the Western Avenue and Gage Avenue intersection within the Project Area and includes creating a buffer area between traffic and the Western Gage Median. Although these projects are located within the Project Area, the Project would have temporary negligible impacts on the environment during construction and no long-term operational impacts are anticipated. Therefore, the Project would not result in any impacts that are cumulatively considerable, and this exception would not apply. To avoid and/or minimize impacts related to construction noise, the following measure would be implemented: • PDF-NOISE-1: Construction activity would comply with all applicable local noise ordinances and regulations. Although not anticipated, some nightwork, weekend, or holiday work may be allowed to expediate certain phases of work and will be on a case-by-case basis per the City’s approval. To avoid and/or minimize impacts related to traffic, the following measure would be implemented:
Cumulative Impact. Impact associated with the works to extend the Right embankment of the River Vistula within the discussed sections might have cumulated, if another Works Contract would be implemented in the neighborhood. However, contracts in the phase of implementation or planning, which may in any way affect the occurrence of cumulative impact, have not been identified within the Contract implementation area or within the areas, where it shall exert impact.
Cumulative Impact. The Joint Labour Management Committee shall monitor and track all cumulative losses of hours or work due to the introduction of this product.
Cumulative Impact. Development of two small dry flood storage reservoirs Malinówka 1 and Malinówka 2, being subjects of this EMP, shall be done in a relatively small distance from the planned develop- ment sites for the other two dry reservoirs under Contract 3A.2 (i.e. Malinówka 3 Reservoir and Serafa 2 Reservoir), and in vicinity of the recently constructed Bieżanów (see e.g.: de- scription in Chapter 2). As informed in e.g. Environmental Management Plans under devel- opment for Works Contracts 3A.2/3 and 3A.2/4, and in the environmental decision issued for the aforementioned assignment (see: description in Chapter 3.5), development of any of those reservoir is associated with the occurrence of significant emission or other significant impact on the environment, scale of which would cause the possibility of significant impact on the abiotic environment or on the biotic environment, even in case of simultaneous perfor- ▇▇▇▇▇ at four reservoirs under Contract 3A.2. Analysis of mitigation measures described in EMPs for the aforementioned Works Contracts concludes with a statement that in case of performing the construction works in conformity with the conditions contained therein there is no risk of significant adverse cumulative impact, even in case of developing four small dry flood storage reservoirs in the planned locations simultaneously. Similarly, in case of the op- erational stage for the developed cascade of small dry flood storage reservoirs in the Serafa River Basin it is not expected to face adverse impact on the environment due to potential accumulation of potential impact of each of the reservoirs.
Cumulative Impact. The proposed project is for maintenance and improvement type of activities on existing, already disturbed, ROW with no further development and no changes to the capacity of the existing ROW. Projects under this exemption would improve the operations of the existing streets, roadways, bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Based on the above analysis, there is no evidence of a potential significant cumulative impact on the environment from the proposed project. It has been determined that the project will not cumulatively impact traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
