Environmental Impact Assessments Sample Clauses

Environmental Impact Assessments. Improving capacity to conduct and review environmental impact assessments and to perform appropriate follow-up activities such as environmental auditing. • Encouraging cleaner production, compliance assistance, and other non- regulatory mechanisms to contribute to the achievement and maintenance of high levels of environmental protection.

Environmental Impact Assessments. Impact assessment for a proposed petrochemical refinery near the Xxxxxx Glacier Stream (U.S. EPA, 1980). • Human health risk assessment associated with air emissions of petroleum hydrocarbons (Xxxxxxxxx et al., 1992; Xxxxx, 1992). • Impact assessments associated with port expansion (the Container Dock) and reports on the Xxxxxx Duck Flats (Xxxxx, 1979; Xxxxxxx et al., 1979; Xxx Xxxxxx and Associates, 1992). • Comparison of sediments and benthic community at a dredge spoil disposal adjacent to the SERVS dock (Xxxxx and Shaw, 1994a; Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx, 1995a, 1996a) • Impact assessment for a proposed liquid natural gas terminal in Xxxxxxxx Bay (FERC, 1995). • Studies of the effects of a simulated oil spill (Xxxxx et al., 1976; Shaw et al., 1977; Shaw et al., 1977; Xxxxxxx et al., 1980; Xxxxxxx et al., 1980; Xxxxx et al., 1990). • Investigations of the clam (Macoma balthica) population at Dayville Flats during and after construction of the Dayville Road (Xxxxx and Pella, 1977; Xxxxx and Xxxxx, 1992). • Sea otter population in Port Valdez and effects of boat traffic (Xxxxxxx et al., 1992; Xxxxxxx, 1995). • Baseline studies associated with planning and construction of the Xxxxxx Marine Terminal and subsequent wastewater disposal (Hood, 1969; Xxxx et al., 1973; Colonell, 1980). • Baseline studies associated with a refinery proposed by the Alaska Petrochemical Company (Dames and Xxxxx, 1979a, 1979b, 1979c; Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx, 1979). • Studies of intertidal and subtidal organisms on Port Xxxxxx (Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx, 1976; Xxxxx and Xxxx, 1977; Xxxxxx and Xxxxx, 1977; Xxxx et al., 1979; Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx, 1980; Xxxxx and Xxxx, 1980). • Studies of birds and salmon in the Port Xxxxxx vicinity of birds and salmon fry (Xxxxxx, 1979; Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx, 1980; Xxxxxx and Xxxxx, 1990; Xxxxxx and Xxxxx, 1994). • Physical studies of nutrient and sediment flux (Xxxxx, 1987). The potential for contamination and the social values placed on this environment result in public concern for the Port Xxxxxx ecosystem. This concern, rather than any impending regulatory decision, has led to the present assessment of ecological risk in Port Valdez. Resources of Port Valdez are managed by several agencies organized at the local, state, and federal levels, each with its own perspective and concerns regarding impacts to the environment. A summary of these agencies and the resource areas that they manage are listed in Table 1-1.

Environmental Impact Assessments. The Council will operate the provisions of the European Communities (Environmental Impact Assessment), Regulations 97/11/EC of 1997 and the Local Government (Planning and Development) EIS Amendment Regulations SI No 93 of 1999 and as subsequently amended. All developments to which these regulations apply, including proposed public authority projects, will be required to submit detailed Environmental Impact Statements as part of the planning approval process.

Environmental Impact Assessments. “Each Party should require or undertake, as appropriate, and consistent with Articles ** on most-favoured national and national treatment, environmental impact assessments for proposed investment in its territory that is likely to have a significant adverse impact on health or the environment and is subject to a decision of a competent national authority.”

Environmental Impact Assessments. Improving the public and private capacity to conduct environmental impact assessments in Bahrain.

Environmental Impact Assessments. The entity conducts environmental impact assessments on all its projects in line with the National Environmental Management Act, 1998.

Environmental Impact Assessments. For any new development next to a protected wetland, Environmental Impact Assessments undertaken to international standards, should assess the potential for waterbird disturbance, and development plans revised to ensure this does not occur before permission for the development is given. There is considerable relevant information, especially for northern European wetlands, in Wetlands Industry and Wildlife – a manual of principles and practices. Consider implications of development not only at the site, but on other sites nationally and internationally that share the same birds, and as necessary and possible promote a Strategic Environment Assessment with government agencies. Although of importance in producing carbon-free energy, renewable energy infrastructure – such as wind turbines – have the potential to cause waterbird mortality. There are a range of options, of varying effectiveness, for reducing the collisions risk of birds with electricity cables including locating outside flight routes or placing underground. Large graphic showing wind turbines close to waterbird roost with explanatory text on best practice principles of placement: Avoidance of flight lines to/from roosts or feeding areas Avoid constructing large infrastructure between waterbird roosts and feeding areas, or otherwise on regular flightlines to reduce risk of collision Marking and placement of electricity cables to avoid wire-strikes Conspicuously mark electricity cables crossing wetlands to avoid wire-strikes
