Avoidance Measures Sample Clauses
The Avoidance Measures clause sets out specific actions or precautions that parties must take to prevent certain risks, losses, or undesirable outcomes under the agreement. Typically, this clause requires parties to implement reasonable safeguards, such as following industry best practices, conducting regular inspections, or promptly addressing identified hazards. Its core practical function is to proactively minimize the likelihood of harm or liability, thereby protecting both parties and ensuring smoother contract performance.
Avoidance Measures. The Company and representatives of the Unions will, with immediate effect, commence with consultation sessions to discuss all possible avoidance measures on or before 26 August 2004 viz, in accordance with the relevant Retrenchment Agreements.
6.1 Redeployment of affected workers into vacancies at No's 10 and 12 Shafts.
6.2 Employees who are still redundant, after all avoidance measures have been exhausted, will be retrenched in accordance with the Retrenchment Agreements that exist between the Company and respective Unions.
Avoidance Measures. The contractor shall not disturb active nests or destroy adults, eggs or young. In an effort to comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the contractor operations will be limited to the options established in the following sections.
Avoidance Measures. 1. Can the proposed project or project components be located in a non-wetland area? If not, explain in detail why not? (Refer to preliminary jurisdictional wetland determination.)
1.a. If yes, does this non-wetland area provide unique habitat to the area or contain other protected resources (e.g., cultural resource, federally listed or candidate species, bald eagles or other raptors)? Consult with the agency with jurisdiction or expertise if appropriate e.g., Corps, FWS, NMFS, ADF&G.
1.b. Are there other project related impacts to the non-wetland area that are considered substantial (e.g., subsistence use or other socio-economic factors)? Consult with the agency with jurisdiction or expertise if appropriate e.g., Corps, FWS, NMFS, ADF&G.
2. In consideration of forecast changes in aircraft use, future airport projects, expected community growth and maintenance considerations, have facilities been sited to avoid wetland impacts? Has this been applied to all individual components of the airport (e.g., the runway, taxiways, aprons, lease lots, navigational aids)?
2.a. Can dimensions of facilities be traded off; i.e., length vs. width of the apron in order to lessen impacts?
2.b. Can the footprint of specific project components be reduced to avoid wetlands i.e., steeper side slopes on support facilities?
2.c. Can facilities be consolidated to avoid impacts?
2.d. Have existing roads, pads, runways and other facilities been incorporated into the design of the proposed project to avoid wetland impacts?
3. Have crossings of fish streams been avoided? (Consult the Anadromous Fish Catalog or contact ADF&G for information on fish bearing waters.)
4. If the Regional Environmental Coordinator has determined that the project may adversely affect Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) list the preliminary EFH conservation measures.
5. Are bald eagle nest trees at least 330 feet from the project? If not, consult FWS.
6. Have abandoned pads, roads, runways and other fills associated with the airport project been considered for gravel re-use, rehabilitation, and/or restoration?
