Environmental Commitments Clause Samples
The Environmental Commitments clause sets out the obligations of the parties to adhere to specific environmental standards or practices during the course of their agreement. Typically, this clause may require compliance with applicable environmental laws, the implementation of sustainable practices, or the avoidance of activities that could cause environmental harm. By clearly defining these responsibilities, the clause helps ensure that both parties contribute to environmental protection and reduces the risk of legal or reputational issues arising from non-compliance.
Environmental Commitments. The Final IA EIS describes the impacts of the Federal action on the Colorado River, such as changes in flow and reservoir storage. The Final IA EIS also summarizes and incorporates by reference analyses of off-river impacts that would result from actions taken by the QSA participating agencies as a result of implementing the QSA. This is because the changes in water deliveries agreed to by the Secretary in the Water Delivery Agreement will enable the QSA to be fully implemented. It is important to recognize that while the EIS describes the off-river impacts of actions taken by the QSA participating agencies, it does not ‘‘federalize’’ those actions, nor does it create a requirement for supplemental NEPA compliance for those actions. The Department recognizes that the non-Federal actions carried out by the participating California agencies pursuant to the QSA will need to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), California Endangered Species Act, and other State and local requirements. Toward that end, the California participating agencies prepared a Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) for the QSA (Implementation of the Colorado River Quantification Settlement Agreement, June 2002), CVWD prepared a PEIR for the Coachella Valley Water Management Plan (Coachella Valley Water Management Plan and State Water Project Entitlement Transfer PEIR, October 2002), and an EIR/EIS was prepared for the IID Water Conservation and Transfer Project, October 2002, pursuant to these State and local requirements.12 The following environmental commitments are those relating to the proposed Federal action affecting water diversions and reservoir storage. Based on the impact analysis, mitigation measures were determined not to be necessary, and none are proposed, for land use, recreation, agricultural resources, socioeconomics, environmental justice, or transboundary impacts. Implementation of environmental commitments from the CEQA documents relating to actions taken by the QSA parties is the exclusive responsibility of those California parties.

Environmental Commitments. Any work in a wetland area within INDOT’s right of way or in borrow/waste areas is prohibited unless specifically allowed in the US Army Corps of Engineers or IDEM permit. (Required) If any archaeological artifacts or human remains are uncovered during construction, federal law and regulations (16 USC 470, et seq.; 36 CFR 800.11, et al.) and State Law (IC 14-21-1) require that work must stop immediately and that the discovery must be reported to the Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology in the Indiana Department of Natural Resources within 2 business days. INDOT’s Cultural Resources Section in Environmental Services shall also be notified. (Required) If any potential hazardous materials are discovered the IDEM Spill Line should be notified with details of the discovery within 24 hours. INDOT Environmental Services, Hazardous Materials Unit should then be contacted to organize the proper handling of the material to be in accordance with the IDEM guidelines. (Required) Permits may be required for this project. It will be the responsibility of the designer to submit plans to ES to process permits. (Required) If unexpected karst features are discovered during construction, work shall cease immediately in the affected area and ES will be contacted. ES will coordinate with USFWS to determine appropriate protective measures.

Environmental Commitments. The following environmental commitments shall be included in the final construction plans for the project:
Environmental Commitments. To limit potential environmental impacts from development of the School Facilities, the City will determine the timing, sequence, and implementation of the Environmental Commitments.
Environmental Commitments. Any additional future use of Project water for M&I purposes beyond the 3,000 af addressed by this EA, including any Minor Uses water totaling greater than the 2,000 af as described in the Contract and any Third-Party Contracts for greater than the initial 1,000 af as described in the Contract, will require additional NEPA and 1920 Act compliance. The District will not take any actions through the Contract which are not in conformance with the NEPA document as determined by Reclamation for the Contract without additional NEPA compliance. Also, any water uses proposed outside of the service area would be subject to additional NEPA and 1920 Act Compliance. If a water lease involves construction of a new diversion facility and/or improvements to an existing diversion facility on the Pine River, there would be potential impacts to historic resources. Those proposed undertakings, once identified, would undergo standard cultural resources review under applicable laws and policies. Since the area(s) of potential impact are rather small, it is anticipated impacts will be avoided or minimized in the event that historic properties are identified. The review would be limited to the diversion facility itself because, as stated earlier, neither distribution of water nor approval of water use is a part of the Proposed Alternative.
Environmental Commitments.
