2.1The CIRCle Framework: Integrated legal functions for responding to cumulative environmental problems
3.1Laws relevant to regulating cumulative environmental problems
4.1Clearly and transparently conceptualizing a matter of concern to facilitate responding to cumulative environmental harm requires identifying its key elements and the spatial boundaries and cumulative threshold conditions that correspond to those elements in a way that facilitates adaptation over time

6.1Integration of legal mechanisms for intervention with other CIRCle Framework functions, each necessary for regulating cumulative environmental problems
6.2Four regulatory intervention strategies to ensure acceptable cumulative effects – reducing harm, offsetting harm, restoring, and coping
6.3Four regulatory intervention approaches to change behavior or use direct state action – sticks, carrots, sermons, and state rescue
