impact, moderate definition
impact, moderate means a level of development that causes discernable impairment of the function of an important habitat (a detectable reduction in wildlife use is anticipated), but the impact can be significantly reduced or eliminated through seasonal use restrictions, recommended management practices (Appendices A and B), and/or habitat mitigation options (Appendix F). Habitat mitigation options can usually be implemented effectively within or close to the project area. This level of impact can result in a cumulatively significant effect if multiple impacts are present over a large area and are not mitigated.
