Baseline Conditions. (a) Each Subsidiary Borrower shall at all times comply with the Baseline Conditions in all material respects.
Baseline Conditions. Established baseline conditions are qualitative descriptions with associated photographic documentation of the enrolled property environment prior to implementation of this CA, and are mutually agreed to by the Cooperator, ODFW, and the Service. Baseline conditions shall be based on riparian/stream habitat, fish populations, or both, as well as networked population suitability and recovery needs. Determination of baseline conditions will be accomplished through surveys, photos, and discussions between the landowner, ODFW, and the Service. Catastrophic natural events such as severe storm events, drought, forest fires, or insect/disease epidemics are beyond the reasonable control of the Cooperator, and could either extirpate LCT from enrolled lands or render LCT habitat on enrolled lands unsuitable for continued occupation. These events may reduce LCT numbers or habitat below established baseline conditions through no fault of, or negligence by, the Cooperator. In such circumstances the Cooperator and ODFW, in coordination with the Service and the NWGMU Team, may agree to revise the baseline conditions in the CA to reflect the new circumstances.
Baseline Conditions. The following is a complete and full description of agreed upon baseline conditions of the enrolled property that will be maintained for the covered species. Include foraging habitat partition/stand map(s), for all baseline cluster(s). Identify how the baseline was determined, when and how the baseline surveys were conducted, or if the baseline was established based on already-known information or other factors (attach additional pages if necessary).
Baseline Conditions. Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall at all applicable times comply with the Baseline Conditions in all material respects and in the event any Subsidiary Guarantor fails, at any time, to comply with any of the Baseline Conditions in any material respect, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall (a) notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, cease to be an Obligated Property Owner for all purposes of this Agreement, and (b) continue as a Subsidiary Guarantor unless released as provided in Section 10.10(b).
Baseline Conditions. Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall at all times comply with the Baseline Conditions in all material respects and in the event any Subsidiary Guarantor fails, at any time, to comply with any of the Baseline Conditions in any material respect, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall (i) notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, cease to be an Obligated Property Owner for all purposes of this Agreement, and (ii) continue as a Subsidiary Guarantor unless released as provided in Section 10.10(d) (it being understood that the provisions of clause (i) and (ii) shall be the sole consequences to Kimco and the Subsidiary Guarantors of a Subsidiary Guarantor’s failure to comply with the Baseline Conditions).
Baseline Conditions. The analysis of simulation results for the baseline conditions is aimed at assessing whether the developed water balance model can provide a realistic overview of the current conditions in the Syros water system. For this purpose, the basic set of indicators presented and commented upon concern water deficits in the urban and agricultural sectors, the production of desalinated water and the current levels of groundwater exploitation. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis is employed to evaluate how assumptions relating to input data influence the model results (uncertainty associated with data used and modelling assumptions). Thousand m³ Figure 26 presents the 2010 deficit in the urban and agricultural sectors. As evident, urban water demand is fully met throughout the year (desalination capacity is adequate to meet water demands in all major agglomerations). A very small deficit is experienced in the agglomeration of Chroussa, which relies only on groundwater supply. On the other hand, the deficit in the agricultural sector is not as significant as described by local authorities and stakeholders (yearly coverage ranging between 80 and 90%). This is in line with results from previous studies, which indicate that in most cases farmers resort to deficit irrigation, to cope with the limited supply. The monthly profile of water deficits presented in Figure 26 reveals that these are more pronounced in September, whereas a smaller deficit is experienced in November. The September deficit is due to the fact that both groundwater storage and stored rainwater reach their lowest level at the end of August; thus, at the end of the hydrological year, freshwater availability is at its lowest value, and not enough water is available to meet irrigation demands. Similarly, the small amount of water replenishment in September and October does not allow the coverage of water demands in November, thus resulting in deficit also during that month. 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Urban Deficit Irrigation Deficit Figure 26: Water deficit in the urban and agricultural sectors for the 2010 baseline Figure 27 presents results on desalinated water production in the 5 major units of the island.

Baseline Conditions. 6.1. The Baseline Conditions for this Agreement are described in terms of the condition of habitat for the Covered Species on the Enrolled Property. The condition of habitat for the Covered Species is used for describing Baseline Conditions because, given their life histories, population numbers within the Enrolled Property at any given time are difficult to accurately estimate, their abundance is highly variable, and because their population numbers are highly influenced by factors outside the Landowner’s control. Given the similarities of freshwater habitat utilized by CCC steelhead and CCC coho salmon, this Agreement uses the same Baseline Conditions for both species. This Agreement’s Baseline Conditions are composed of habitat parameters, which are important for the Covered Species and are the metrics that may discern any present or future beneficial or adverse effect to Covered Species or their habitat resulting from the actions and activities described in Sections 8, 9, and 10, or which might result as an unintended effect of improvement to the Elevated Baseline. This Agreement’s Baseline Conditions consist of two components: the Present Baseline Conditions and Elevated Baseline Conditions. Present Baseline Conditions are the existing conditions of the habitat parameters described in Section 6.2. Elevated Baseline Conditions are the conditions of the habitat parameters described in Section 6.3 and must be achieved in accordance with the schedule identified below. Initially, the Baseline Conditions for this Agreement are those described in Present Baseline Conditions, in Section 6.2. As explained in Section 3.6, Baseline Conditions refers to both the Present Baseline Conditions, in Section 6.2.1.1 (Table 2) and Elevated Baseline Conditions, in Sections 6.3.2.1 and 6.3.2.2 once they are achieved.
Baseline Conditions. The baseline condition of the Enrolled Lands has been determined based upon surveys of larks during 2016-2017 (Jebousek, in litt. 2019a, no pagination). Informal visual and vocal surveys to detect presence or absence of larks were conducted during multiple seasons, including the lark nesting season. None were observed visually or audibly during this time. Therefore, baseline condition for the Enrolled Lands covered by this Agreement is “zero” larks. According to the Service’s Safe Harbor Policy, baseline is generally determined by the condition of the enrolled property at the time a SHA is executed. Nevertheless, it is appropriate to deviate from that general policy under these particular circumstances. We are using the condition of the property when surveyed during 2016-17 because the Cooperator voluntarily agreed to begin activities for the benefit of larks, and timely applied for a permit with the good faith expectation that it would be processed expeditiously. There were no streaked horned larks present on the Enrolled Lands prior to any habitat management activities commencing. In addition, the decision to use “number of birds” instead of “acres of habitat” baseline was primarily because of the behavior of the lark, as they tend to be nomadic in their choice of nesting habitats, and it would be difficult to quantify the amount of suitable habitat needed by larks (for example, was it dependent on the substrate or the presence of nearby vegetation, etc.). Thus, the Service and the Cooperator have mutually agreed that the number of larks are the metric, and the baseline is zero.
Baseline Conditions. The Contractor confirms that all work necessary to overcome all baseline site conditions so that the Works are completed in accordance with the Contract has been allowed for in the contract sum and the baseline program.
Baseline Conditions. 4.3.1.1 There have been no “baseline” air quality measurements conducted for this study. However, the long term air quality monitoring programme carried out by the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) at Air Quality Monitoring Stations have provided an acceptable indication of the existing conditions. The Central / Western monitoring station is the closest station to the study area and it is proposed that monitoring data from this station be utilised as representative of current background conditions. Inspection of the “Air Quality in Hong Kong in 1996” report indicates the following annual averages for year 1996, TSP- 87 mg/m3 , RSP – 52 mg/m3 and NO2 – 47 mg/m3.. It is proposed that the annual average concentrations be adopted as background levels for construction and operation air quality modelling. Table 4.3 Monitoring data obtained from Central / Western air quality Monitoring Station (1996) Pollutant Concentration in microgram per cubic metre (mg/m3) Highest 1-hour Highest 24-hour Highest monthly Annual Average NO2 213 127 81 (December) 47 RSP 247 173 93 (December) 52 TSP - - 150 (January) 87* Note: * Concentration level exceeds AQO
