Ecological Resources Socioeconomic Resources
Direct ImpactsImpacts that are caused by an ac�on and occur at the same �me and • place as the ac�on
Example - Residen�al reloca�ons required by a road widening project•
Indirect ImpactsImpacts that are caused by an ac�on and are later in �me and farther • removed in distance, but are s�ll reasonably foreseeable in the future.
May include growth inducing efforts or other effects related to • changes in the pa�ern of land use, popula�on density, or growth rate and related effects on air and water and other natural systems.
“Reasonably foreseeable future” ac�ons or impacts refer to probable • not merely possible events
Cumula�ve ImpactsImpacts on the environment which result from the incremental impact • of the ac�on when added to other past, present, and reasonable foreseeable future ac�ons regardless of what agency (federal or non-federal) or person undertakes such ac�on.
Cumula�ve impacts can result from individually minor but collec�vely • significant ac�ons taking place over a period of �me.
