Sec.  1508.7  Cumulative impact.



    Cumulative impact is the impact on the environment which results 

from the incremental impact of the action when added to other past, 

present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions regardless of what 

agency (Federal or non-Federal) or person undertakes such other actions. 

Cumulative impacts can result from individually minor but collectively 

significant actions taking place over a period of time.
