Environmental Effects. The effects of the natural environment on the system. For example, corrosion is a natural environmental effect caused by weather, ocean conditions, etc.
Environmental Effects. The interdisciplinary team reviewed the elements of the environment, required by law, regulation, Executive Order and policy, to determine if they would be affected by the proposed action. Table 1 (Critical Elements of the Environment from BLM H-1790-1, Appendix 5) and Table 2 (Other Elements of the Environment) and Table 3 (Aquatic Conservation Strategy Summary) summarize the results of that review. Affected elements are bold. Unless otherwise noted, the effects apply to the proposed action; and the No Action Alternative is not expected to have adverse effects to these elements.
Environmental Effects. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.), the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations (40 CFR part 1500), and the Department of Labor (DOL) NEPA Compliance Procedures (29 CFR part 11) require that OSHA give appropriate consideration to environmental issues and the impacts of proposed actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. OSHA intends to collect written information and data on possible environmental impacts that could occur outside of the workplace (e.g., exposure to the community through contaminated air/water, contaminated waste sites, etc.) if the agency were to revise the existing standard for occupational exposure to lead. Such information should include both negative and positive environmental effects that could be expected to result from guidance or a revised standard. Specifically, OSHA requests comments and information on the following:
Environmental Effects. Decommissioning activities, particularly the removal of project components could result in environmental effects similar to those of the construction phase. For example, there is the potential for disturbance (erosion/sedimentation/fuel spills) to adjacent watercourses or significant natural features. Mitigation measures similar to those employed during the construction phase of the Solar Facility will be implemented. These will remain in place until the site is stabilized in order to mitigate erosion and silt/sediment runoff and any impacts on the significant natural features or water bodies located adjacent to the Facility Site. Road traffic will temporarily increase due to the movement of decommissioning crews and equipment. There may be an increase in particulate matter (dust) in adjacent areas during the decommissioning phase. Decommissioning activities may lead to temporary elevated noise levels from heavy machinery and an increase in trips to the project location. Work will be undertaken during daylight hours and conform to any applicable restrictions.
Environmental Effects. This agreement represents a continuation of service to Port Xxxxxxxx at a rate consistent with the court's decisions in PNGC I and PNGC II, and the sale will not lead to any changes in environmental effects. Further, this type of agreement is consistent with BPA's Short-Term Marketing and Operating Arrangements ROD of January 22, 1996, a copy of which is attached hereto as Attachment F.
Environmental Effects. New Zealand approached the AANZFTA negotiations in the context of the Government’s 2001 policy framework of ensuring that sustainable development and environmental objectives are appropriately supported by FTAs AANZFTA, as well as the MOA on Environmental Cooperation with the Philippines, can contribute to positive outcomes for New Zealand on the environment and sustainable development. They support the objective of harmonising trade and environment and provide opportunities to enhance capacity in the Philippines and New Zealand for improved environmental management and promote trade in goods and services that benefit the environment. The MOA sets out a list of specific, though not exclusive, areas for cooperation identified as being of mutual interest and benefit to the Parties. These include environmental management systems, urban environmental management, air quality management, water quality management; toxic chemicals and hazardous and solid waste management, restoration of degraded watersheds, and climate change. These cooperation activities may lead to the development of environmental practices and systems that could have a positive impact on environmental management in both countries. FTAs have the potential to affect the environment in positive and negative ways. There are four means by which the environment can be affected: through changes in environmental regulation; changes in the types of goods and services that are traded; changes in the distribution and intensity of production and consumption; and changes in the scale of production. These are discussed below.
Environmental Effects a. A discussion if the environmental benefits associated with the proposed project.
Environmental Effects. The purpose of this Environmental Assessment is to address probable impacts that may result from continuation of operation and maintenance dredging of the CALENDAR PAGE MINUTE PAGE 276 1160 Entrance, Navy. and Morro Channels. Since these maintenance dredging operations have been frequently performed for at least the past 37 years, recent assessments of environmental impacts have been typically limited to those project features which change from one dredging episode to the next, or evaluations necessitated by xxxx environmental legislation or policy that may result in previously unidentified significant adverse impacts. Construction of the channel modification project has been authorized, and is scheduled to occur with or without a maintenance dredging project. The limited quantities associated with the maintenance dredging project are expected to have little effect on environmental resources, in comparison with the channel modification project. Deleting the maintenance dredging portion of the project would reduce the area of effect (only the entrance channel and disposal areas would be affected), but dredging of other channels would likely be necessary next year.
