ew will be based on information provided in the ER and developed during the scoping process. Information and Analysis Content The ER should include the following information to assist the staff in its environmental justice review: • Based on information about minority and low-income populations and communities residing in the immediate vicinity of the plant site presented in Chapter 3 of this regulatory guide, identify potential impacts and any concerns these populations and communities may have about the continued operation of the nuclear plant. Also discuss the potential for disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental impacts. • Describe any observed subsistence consumption behavior patterns—specifically fish and wildlife consumption—by minority and low-income populations in the vicinity of the plant (see Section 4–4 of the Executive Order 12898). This subsistence consumption behavior could consist of hunting, fishing, and trapping of game animals and any other general food gathering activities (e.g., collecting nuts, berries, and other plant material) conducted by minority and low-income individuals in the vicinity of the plant. • Provide any information about current or past wildlife sampling and testing of game animals such as deer, squirrel, turkey, pheasant, duck, and other game birds and animals that may have been conducted in the vicinity of plant. Wildlife sampling and testing may have been conducted before, during, and after plant construction and in the early days of plant operation, but was discontinued after determining that tissue samples consistently showed no significant or measurable radiological impact on the environment from plant operations. If this was indeed the case, then the ER should explain it.
