Environmental Commitments. The Final IA EIS describes the impacts of the Federal action on the Colorado River, such as changes in flow and reservoir storage. The Final IA EIS also summarizes and incorporates by reference analyses of off-river impacts that would result from actions taken by the QSA participating agencies as a result of implementing the QSA. This is because the changes in water deliveries agreed to by the Secretary in the Water Delivery Agreement will enable the QSA to be fully implemented. It is important to recognize that while the EIS describes the off-river impacts of actions taken by the QSA participating agencies, it does not ‘‘federalize’’ those actions, nor does it create a requirement for supplemental NEPA compliance for those actions. The Department recognizes that the non-Federal actions carried out by the participating California agencies pursuant to the QSA will need to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), California Endangered Species Act, and other State and local requirements. Toward that end, the California participating agencies prepared a Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) for the QSA (Implementation of the Colorado River Quantification Settlement Agreement, June 2002), CVWD prepared a PEIR for the Coachella Valley Water Management Plan (Coachella Valley Water Management Plan and State Water Project Entitlement Transfer PEIR, October 2002), and an EIR/EIS was prepared for the IID Water Conservation and Transfer Project, October 2002, pursuant to these State and local requirements.12 The following environmental commitments are those relating to the proposed Federal action affecting water diversions and reservoir storage. Based on the impact analysis, mitigation measures were determined not to be necessary, and none are proposed, for land use, recreation, agricultural resources, socioeconomics, environmental justice, or transboundary impacts. Implementation of environmental commitments from the CEQA documents relating to actions taken by the QSA parties is the exclusive responsibility of those California parties.
Environmental Commitments. If any archaeological artifacts or human remains are uncovered during construction, federal law and regulations (16 USC 470, et seq.; 36 CFR 800.11, et al.) and State Law (IC 14-21-1) require that work must stop immediately and that the discovery must be reported to the Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology in the Indiana Department of Natural Resources within 2 business days. INDOT’s Cultural Resources Section in INDOT Environmental Services (INDOT ES) shall also be notified. (Required) If unexpected karst features are discovered, INDOT ES will be contacted. INDOT ES will coordinate with USFWS to determine appropriate protective measures.

Environmental Commitments. Reclamation protested CPG’s petition to assign 10,000 af of its right to divert water from the Sacramento River during the Term 91 period because of the possible impacts to the Sacramento River from additional groundwater pumping. This protest was settled by adding the following conditions to CPG’s amended licenses. These license conditions were developed to eliminate any impact on Sacramento River streamflow during the Term 91 period. Applicable conditions are as follows:
a. Licensee shall, on an annual basis, identify the xxxxx that it will use for the purpose of substituting all or a portion of the 10,000 acre-feet of surface water assigned to
Environmental Commitments. As part of the Settlement Agreement, ------------------------- Seller has made certain environmental commitments regarding the operation of the Facilities. Such commitments are described in Attachment 6 of the Settlement Agreement, and a copy is attached hereto as Schedule 11.3 (the ------------- "Environmental Commitments"). Buyer agrees to comply with such Environmental Commitments in accordance with their terms, to the extent applicable to the Facilities. Buyer acknowledges that the performance of the Environmental Commitments is a condition of the Settlement Agreement. The Parties agree that Buyer's obligation with respect to the Environmental Commitments shall survive the Closing, and shall be specifically enforceable by Seller to the extent that such Environmental Commitments have not been superseded by other laws and so long as such Environmental Commitments remain enforceable against Seller or Buyer by relevant Governmental Authorities.
Environmental Commitments. To limit potential environmental impacts from development of the School Facilities, the City will determine the timing, sequence, and implementation of the Environmental Commitments.
Environmental Commitments. Consultant shall address this category of the CATEX if any environmental commitments are needed to avoid, minimize or mitigate any potential impacts to the environment.
Environmental Commitments. 3.1 Green Certifications Developer shall comply with the Washington DC Green Building Act of 2006 and obtain at least certified status for buildings development within the Development, when Developer deems it financially feasible, under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System for New Commercial and Major Renovations (LEED-NC) (Version 2.1) In addition, Developer shall investigate the feasibility of constructing a building within the Development that achieves a higher LEED level than the certified level (i.e., silver, gold or platinum level).
Environmental Commitments. This project is located in a public drinking water source. In order to minimize the potential for a release in this sensitive area do not perform equipment fueling within the project limits. If refueling of immobile equipment is necessary within these limits, provide secondary containment with enough capacity to completely contain and collect all potential liquid wastes in the event of a spill. Do not perform maintenance activities associated with any viscous material that has potential to contaminate the groundwater. All equipment or liquid containers shall be regularly checked for leaks prior to entering the restricted areas. The contractor shall develop a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC) if refueling or maintenance will be performed within the project limits. If any refueling or maintenance will be performed outside of the project limits, the area shall be assessed for potential groundwater contamination and be indicated on the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan. The Contractor shall immediately take steps to mitigate any event, such as a spill of fuels, oils, or chemicals. Any such spill or event shall be reported immediately to the emergency contact listed below for each drinking water source. If the spill is a reportable amount, the Contractor should contact Xxxxx County Emergency Management (419-592-4876) and Ohio EPA Environmental Response and Revitalization (000-000-0000 or 800-282-9378) for cleanup of the spill.

Accordingly, no Party shall terminate, repeal, or offer to terminate or repeal its environmental law in a manner that weakens or reduces the protection afforded by that law in order to encourage trade between the Parties.
5. The Parties shall not apply their environmental laws and regulations in a manner that constitutes a disguised restriction on trade or an unjustifiable or arbitrary discrimination.
