ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS AS A STANDARD CONDITION Sample Clauses

ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS AS A STANDARD CONDITION. Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) are locations of state-owned archaeological sites, cultural sites or built-environment resources within the Project Area Limit (PAL) that are to be protected by avoidance or restrictions on Program activities.
