costs have been considered. To do this, the reviewer should take the following steps: October 1999 4.6-5 NUREG-1555 (1) Confirm that the construction impacts, when considered on a site-specific basis, are adverse and should be mitigated. ` Make this determination through consultation with the appropriate reviewers for ESRPs 4.1 through 4.5, and take into account experience gained in the review of other projects having similar impacts. ` Ensure that adequate documentation is available to support the staff conclusions with respect to the nature and severity of those impacts requiring mitigation. (2) Confirm that the selected measures and controls to limit each impact have been evaluated to verify that a practical level of mitigation can be achieved by the methods and controls to be applied. ` Confirm that each measure and control is reasonable (i.e., involves methods and techniques that are appropriate and achievable on a site-specific basis). ` Confirm that the measures and controls are specific, unambiguous, and are structured such that their application and results can be verified through subsequent field reviews and inspections. (3) Confirm that environmental, economic, and social costs of the available measures and controls to limit adverse impacts have been balanced against the expected benefits to be achieved. ` Consult with the appropriate benefit-cost reviewers in conducting this portion of the evaluation. Benefit-cost reviews cannot be used as a basis for noncompliance with NRC regulations. ` Note that when mitigation techniques do not lead to an improvement in the overall benefit-cost ratio and if mitigation is not required by law, the impact may be accepted without mitigation and considered in the overall project benefit-cost balancing. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS This review should prepare a summary of (1) adverse impacts of construction where measures and controls to limit the impacts can be applied, (2) the applicant’s commitments to limit these impacts,
