I'm leaving this suggestion in (although Robert originally posted it as a 2nd choice) because I think it is valid and have used it (and seen it used) in similar texts.

The project does not encroach upon..


Explanation:
me parece clavo que sepan que los sitios protegidos no se van invadir o molestar de ninguna manera; que no serán invadidos por el proyecto.. "encroach upon" significa la idea de invadir o entrar en espacio perteneciente a otro.
