Steps 2 and 3 above, identifying the ESRP that provides details of the staff analysis. The table will describe the nature and magnitude of the impact (see Table 10.1-1 for example). (a) Determine the time scale of each impact (e.g., 4-6 months during construction, throughout the plant lifetime, indefinitely). (b) Identify (for subsequent use by the reviewer for ESRP 10.2) any impacts that result in irreversible and irretrievable commitment of resources. (c) Include (for the reviewer for ESRP 10.3) those impacts that are to be considered short term or long term. (d) Consult with the appropriate ESRP Chapter 4.0 and 5.0 reviewers to ensure that adequate documentation, including applicant commitments to avoid adverse impacts, is available to support the staff conclusions regarding identification of each impact as adverse and unavailability of appropriate mitigating measures. Table 10.1-1. Unavoidable Adverse Environmental Impacts Impact Category Adverse Impacts Based on Applicant’s Proposal Actions to Mitigate Impacts Unavoidable Adverse Impacts 1. Land Use 2. Hydrological and Water Use 3. Ecological a. Terrestrial b. Aquatic 4. Socioeconomic 5. Radiological 6. Atmospheric and Meteorological 7. Environmental Justice October 1999 10.1-5 NUREG-1555 (e) Ensure that each identified impact has been appropriately categorized. When a particular action or operation results in multiple impacts (e.g., access road construction and use may have impacts affecting land use, terrestrial ecology, and socioeconomics), ensure that the impacts are addressed in each appropriate category. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The environmental review for this ESRP should include identification of adverse operational impacts and mitigation actions that the staff consider appropriate. The reviewer’s summary of impacts will be the EIS input from the ESRP. The input should consist of a brief introductory paragraph and a table of impacts as shown in Table 10.1.1. V. IMPLEMENTATION The method described
