Methodological Guide for Cumulative Impacts Management Through Environmental Impact Assessment in Peru
… limits the analysis of the interaction of the impacts with the impacts of neighboring projects, to generate cumulative impacts. The objective of this research is to propose a guide for the management of cumulative impacts through EIA in Peru. To achieve this objective, an analysis of the …

Cumulative Impacts of Watershed-Scale Hyporheic Stream Restoration on Nitrate Loading to Downstream Waterbodies
… as a solution. Yet few studies evaluate the cumulative effects of multiple individual restoration projects on watershed-scale nutrient loading. We constructed a HEC-RAS model of stream restoration implemented throughout a generic 4th order watershed typical of the Piedmont physiographic …

Cumulative Impacts of Stream Restoration on Watershed-Scale Flood Attenuation, Floodplain Inundation, and Nitrate Removal
… it can prove challenging to quantify the cumulative impacts of multiple stream restoration projects within a single watershed on flooding and nutrient removal. Previous studies have quantified the effects of stream restoration on flood attenuation. However, our first study fills a …

Water resources management in Zambia: a case of cumulative impacts associated with copper mining in the Upper Kafue Catchment, Copperbelt Province, Zambia
Water resources management is high on the agenda both locally and globally because of its important role in social, economic and environmental development. For example, as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, all United Nations Member States adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals …

Managing the impact on biodiversity of supply chain companies
… factor to biodiversity decline comes from the cumulative impacts of extended supply chain business operations. In order to contribute to stopping this decline, the industrial world needs to form a better understanding of the way it utilizes the business and biodiversity agenda in its wider …

Exploring the Role of Race and Place in Residential Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Adoption
… and ethnic majority classifications, due to the cumulative impacts of socioeconomic disadvantage for those groups. The study concludes with a discussion of policy implications, methodological limitations, and avenues for future policy research to support an equitable clean energy transition.

Impact of stochastic loads and generations on power system transient stability
… random effect of system parameter arising from cumulative impacts of a number of independent events. The random load characteristic is considered to develop a structure-preserved power system transient stability using stochastic energy functions. The stochastic power system stability was …

Effects of rate and timing of short-lived climate forcer mitigation on cumulative warming and temperature targets
… integrated temperature response referred to as a cumulative temperature perturbation (CTP). For measures of peak or target temperatures, I found that there is little benefit to mitigating SLCF early or at rapid rates except under low CO2 emission trajectories such as RCP-2.6. Recent publications …

Understanding and improving disaster risk governance to address small-scale recurring disasters: insights from Aotearoa New Zealand
… disasters start to occur more frequently, their impacts accumulate with time and may become intolerable for the communities affected. These impacts tend to be small but frequent, which makes them chronic. Despite this, because of their less significant immediate effects, they receive little …

Community-based evaluation of the air toxic provisions of title III of the 1990 clean air act amendments : risks, costs and benefits
… in close proximity to the source facilities. No cumulative impacts were found in nearby residential neighborhoods even when source facilities were clustered together. The morbidity risks from non-carcinogenic pollutants were all below acceptable thresholds. The mortality risks from carcinogenic …

Impact of Stream Restoration on Flood Attenuation and Channel-Floodplain Exchange During Small Recurrence Interval Storms
… have not been thoroughly studied, nor have cumulative impacts of floodplain restoration on water quality at watershed scales. We used HEC-RAS to perform 1D unsteady simulations on a 2nd-order generic stream from the Chesapeake Bay Watershed to study flood attenuation under small and …

Evaluation of the performance, quality, and effectiveness of environmental impact assessment in Namibia
… gaps including deficiencies in addressing cumulative impacts and poor review and decision making. These weaknesses and gaps present an opportunity to improve the system. With timely improvements and targeted legislation reform, EIA can effectively facilitate good environmental decisions and …

Improving Wetland Mitigation in the Coastal Plain of South Carolina With the Watershed Planning and Mitigation Banking Aspects of the New Mitigation Rule
… analysis, the bank ledgers (i.e. document of impacts/permits that used the bank) from the five mitigation and one ILF banks were used to collect 523 permits that used these banks. The dataset was used to quantify the spatial extent of bank use, including how current mitigation bank sites have …
