Area of Potential Effect Clause Samples
The "Area of Potential Effect" clause defines the specific geographic region where a project or activity may cause changes to the environment, cultural resources, or historic properties. In practice, this clause outlines the boundaries within which assessments, surveys, or mitigation measures must be conducted, often as part of regulatory compliance or environmental review processes. By clearly delineating the area subject to evaluation, the clause ensures that all potential impacts are properly considered and managed, thereby preventing oversight and ensuring regulatory requirements are met.

Area of Potential Effect. The APE is defined as the total geographic area or areas within which the undertaking may directly or indirectly cause alterations in the character or use of historic properties per 36 C.F.R. 800.16(d). The APE is influenced by the scale and nature of an undertaking and includes those areas which could be affected by an undertaking prior to, during and after construction.
Area of Potential Effect. HPM/DHPS shall apply the definition of Area of Potential Effect (APE) (36 CFR 800.16[d]) to each undertaking and shall include a description of the APE in the undertaking’s Section 106 report. In defining the APE, Region 5 shall consider potential direct, indirect, and cumulative effects to historic properties and their associated settings as applicable, regardless of land ownership. HPM/DHPS are not required to determine the APE in consultation with the SHPO. However, in cases where the APE is subject to question, or multiple federal jurisdictions are involved, or a Traditional Cultural Property has been identified, the Forest shall seek the opinion of the SHPO (Stipulation 8.1(c)).
Area of Potential Effect. The geographic area affected by an undertaking as specified in Stipulation II (C).
Area of Potential Effect. The area of potential effect (APE) for cultural resources is defined as the boundary of the 24,564 acres considered for vegetation treatments in the Pine Nut Land Health Environmental Assessment and figures. Appendix A contains two maps showing the APE. Figure 1 is a map of the Project vicinity, and Figure 2 shows the APE, which are referred to on the map as the “Proposed Treatment Units.” The APE shall be defined to include potential direct and indirect effects to cultural resources and properties of traditional religious and cultural importance from any activities associated with the undertaking without regard for land ownership. Based on current data, there are no known historic properties outside of the direct APE that would have the characteristics that qualify them for listing in the NRHP adversely affected by visual impacts from the proposed action. However, the APE for assessing indirect effects on known historic properties will be the area plus one mile outward in all directions from the perimeter of each area, which would include some areas outside the Pine Nut Land Health undertaking area. The BLM may amend the APE as needed, or as requested by the SHPO or the Tribe(s), without amending the PA. All consulting parties will receive formal notification of the amended APE.

B. Channel bottom and side slopes of existing navigation channel.
C. Channel bottom and side slopes of bend wideners and channel side slopes where full- channel-width dredging will occur.
D. Channel bottom and side slopes of the Kings Island Turning Basin.
E. Channel bottom and side slopes in proposed passing lane areas.

Area of Potential Effect. The Area of Potential Effect (APE) is the geographic area within which the project may cause physical, visual or audible effects to the character or use of historic properties. It includes all areas of construction, such as rights-of-way (ROW), staging areas, extra work spaces, yards, access roads, borrow areas, and other ancillary facilities.
