METHODS FOR ASSESSING IMPACTS
Biotic Communities
-
Negligible – an action that could affect biotic communities or species of
concern habitat, but the change would be so small that it would not be of any
measurable or perceptible consequence.
-
Minor – an action that could affect biotic communities or species of concern
habitat, but the change would be slight and localized with few measurable
consequences.
-
Moderate – an action that would result in readily apparent changes to affect
biotic communities or species of concern habitat with measurable consequences.
-
Major – an action that would result in a measurable and substantial adverse
or beneficial effect to biotic communities or species of concern habitat.
