POTENTIAL FOR CUMULATIVE IMPACTS Sample Clauses

POTENTIAL FOR CUMULATIVE IMPACTS. Cumulative impacts are defined by the U.S. Council on Environmental Quality as impacts on the environment that result from the incremental impact of the action when added to other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions. The ACOBAR Experiment took place over two years, from 2010 to 2012. Prior to the ACOBAR Experiment, the Fram Strait Tomography Experiment, part of the DAMOCLES Project, installed a prototype acoustic tomography system in Fram Strait. One source and one receiver were deployed in August 2008 for a duration of one year. The source transmitted 60-sec signals from 205 to 305 Hz every three hours (xxxx://xxxxxx.xxxxx.xx/). NERSC has just been awarded a research grant from the Norwegian government for the UNDER ICE project, which is part of a larger Eurpoean Union funded research initiative called AROMOS. The tomography portion of the research project will replicate the work done in the ACOBAR Experiment with three WRC sources installed for two years (2014 to 2016) in a triangular arrangement. The east and westernmost sources will be deployed in approximately the same area as during ACOBAR (Moorings A and B), however, the northernmost source will be north of the ACOBAR Mooring C, closer to the Gakkel Ridge. It is not anticipated that these small research projects with deep active acoustic sources transmitting very infrequently will combine to cause cumulative impacts. During the past few years, two pilot studies measuring the ambient noise in Arctic environments have been conducted. One study deployed two passive acoustic recorders, one in the Fram Strait and one in the Chukchi Sea, from autumn 2008 to autumn 2009 to compare the Atlantic and Pacific Arctic acoustic habitats, respectively (Xxxxx et al. 2012). Airgun signals were detected year-round in Fram Strait, including every day from July to September, 80 to 95% of days per month from March to June, and 30 to 65% of days per month from October to February. With only a single recorder, distances to the seismic surveys could not be calculated, but the signals appeared to be from sources located at great distances (Xxxxx et al. 2012). The second study deployed two autonomous receivers, one in the Fram Strait and one in the Greenland Sea, from June 2009 through June 2010 (Xxxxxx et al. 2012). Ambient noise levels for the frequency band of 15 to 840 Hz were calculated. During the summer months (May to September), airgun signals were detected almost every hour per month at both dep...
