Likely impacts from the proposed activity have been assessed. Cumulative impacts of the proposed activity have also been considered. Measures to minimize and mitigate potential impacts of the proposed activity have also been considered, as have alternatives. The possibility of potential impacts will be minimized by strict adherence to applicable laws and regulations, company policies and standard operating policies; careful pre-trip planning and preparation including obtaining advance permits/authorizations (where applicable); briefings; advice received from the communities/ review boards; and the supervision and monitoring of visitor activities in the field by experienced personnel. Direct, indirect and cumulative impacts of the proposed activity have been considered, as have alternatives. Provided that minimization and mitigation measures are adhered to, it is concluded that the proposed activity will have less than a minor or transitory impact and that the activity should be authorized/permitted to proceed.
