REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s description and evaluation of an applicant’s meteorological monitoring program in sufficient detail to lead to decisions on site acceptability and, ultimately, plant construction and operational procedures. The scope of the review directed by this plan includes evaluations of the adequacy and accuracy of data collection and analytical methods used in the meteorological monitoring program’s review of the locations of towers, siting of sensors, sensor performance specifications, methods and equipment for recording sensor output, data acquisition and reduction procedures, and the quality assurance program for sensors, recorders, and data reduction. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from or provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRP 1.2. Obtain input from the reviewer for ESRP 1.2 to determine if the applicant has obtained Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval for construction of the meteorological tower if the tower extends more than 61 m (200 ft) above ground level. NUREG-1555 6.4-2 October 1999 ` ESRP 2.7. Provide an evaluation of the adequacy of the applicant’s meteorological monitoring program for obtaining data that are representative of the site. ` ESRP 5.5.1. Obtain a discussion of any requirements for preoperational monitoring programs that will be needed in establishing baselines for nonradiological system effluents. ` ESRP 6.7. Provide an assessment of the meteorological program. Data and Information Needs The type of data and information needed will be affected by site- and station-specific factors, and the degree of detail should be modified according to the anticipated magnitude of the potential impacts. The following data or information should be obtained: ` a description of the onsite meteorological measurements programs
