pacted by the water-quality alterations: (a) Consult with the reviewer for ESRP 4.2.1 to identify the affected receiving water bodies and the hydrologic alterations (e.g., erosion, sedimentation) that could affect water quality. (b) Consult with the reviewer for ESRP 2.3.3 to determine the baseline water quality of the receiving water bodies and with the reviewer for ESRP 2.3.2 to identify potentially affected water users. (c) Identify the water bodies receiving construction effluents, the flow rates and chemical composition of these effluents, and the potential for and nature of any contaminants that could be released to surface or groundwater as a result of substrate exposure during construction. (d) Consider potential impacts to water users in terms of the intended usage (e.g., heavy metals as a contaminant affecting a municipal water supply, suspended solids affecting industrial use). (e) Consult with nearby Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies in analyzing potential water-quality impacts. (f) Finally, consult with the reviewer for ESRP 4.3.2 to coordinate the analysis of impacts to water quality and to avoid any duplication of effort in this analysis. October 1999 4.2.2-9 NUREG-1555 IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS Input from this ESRP to the environmental impact statement (EIS) should accomplish the following objectives: (1) public disclosure of major direct water-use consequences of proposed project construction, (2) presentation of the basis for the staff analysis, and (3) presentation of staff conclusions and conditions regarding water use. The reviewer should coordinate this input with the reviewer for ESRP 4.2.1 to avoid duplication. The following information should be included in the EIS: ` a description of plant design and construction activities that may cause adverse water-use impacts and a quantitative description of these impacts for each affected water body. For plant facilities and construction activities located on
