The Army has not directly or indirectly used criteria, methods. or practices that discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin. No disproportionately negative economic or social impact is anticipated to minority or low-income communities, and no human health or environmental impacts are believed to be associated with the Proposed Action or No Action Alternative. 5.0 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS Cumulative impacts on resources can result from the relationship of the proposed project or action to other past, present or reasonably foreseeable future actions in the area, Cumulative impacts can result from minor, but collectively substantial, actions undertaken over a period of time. In accordance with the NEPA and CEQ regulations, a discussion is required of cumulative impacts resulting from actions and projects that are proposed, under implementation, or reasonably anticipated to be implemented in the near future. It is believed that the Proposed Action as described in Section 2.0 of this EA would not create a substantial impact upon the natural and built environment. At this time, there are no known existing actions or current future proposals from which a substantial cumulative impact in the area of concern could result when combined with the effects of the Proposed Action.
