Document Summary
There is a generic template for assessment for all projects within this class but further specifications are made. Under this category, all projects are given the same generic assessment so a separate screening report is not required for each. Ex: screening eia prepared for holiday events include details of the main activity and the nature of individual ones but separate screening for individual activities within this main one is not required. The projects that fall in this category are known to not cause any adverse effects or generate public concerns and occur in well-understood environmental settings with not too complex procedures. While not harmful on its own, a bunch of them together cumulatively may pose serious threats to the environment such as degradation of important resources. Cumulative impact analysis focuses on the impact that a bunch of actions may have over time by interaction and addition of one another on the degradation of something.
