2. Significant environmental effects can be either positive
or negative. Significant effects also include environ-
mental consequences of both a short range and long range
nature. Short range effects (e.g. siltation during con-
struction of waste water treatment facilities) should not
be given greater consideration than long range effects,
(e.g. changes in land-use which may occur as a result of
the pro,ject).
3. Significant environmental effects can also result from
the cumulative effect resulting from a number of similar
:t small activities in one area and such projects should be
evaluated in the context of the entire City.
