Common use of Renewable Resources Clause in Contracts

Renewable Resources. The environmental assessment should consider whether the project is likely to cause significant environmental effects on renewable resources and therefore compromise their capacity to meet present and future needs. The environmental assessment should describe the renewable resources that may be affected by the project and it shall clearly establish, taking into account the result of the assessment, whether these renewable resources are likely to be significantly affected following the implementation of proposed mitigation measures (residual significant environmental effects). Should this be the case, the following points should be addressed:  a brief description of the project’s environmental effects on the renewable resource;  an indication as to the way in which the capacity of this resource was measured or evaluated;  an indication of the temporal and geographic boundaries used to assess the capacity of the affected resource;  a determination of the capacity of the resource to meet current needs;  a determination of the capacity of the resource to meet future needs;
