struction impact, this may be noted, and no further analysis will be needed. (5) Consult with the reviewers of both ESRPs 3.7 and 4.4.1 to complete the analysis of visual impacts, with emphasis on the identification of measures and controls (e.g., screening) to mitigate the impacts determined to be adverse. (6) Identify those proposed design features and operating procedures that can be expected to mitigate the physical impacts. Means available for mitigation include ` drift and noise eliminators ` air pollution control devices ` landscaping for visual screening. October 1999 5.8.1-5 NUREG-1555 (7) Become familiar with the provisions of standards, guides, and agreements pertinent to the operational impacts of nuclear power stations. (8) Consult with appropriate Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies to verify that current applicable regulations and guides are available. For example, consult ` the EPA for ambient air quality standards and air pollutant levels ` the Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines and standards applicable to facility operation. (9) Verify that the applicant has made commitments to comply with these applicable regulations and guides. (10) Examine proposed operation activities in light of recognized “good practice.” The term “good practice” as used here refers to those activities that tend to mitigate noise levels and adverse physical impacts on the community. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS Input to the EIS should accomplish the following objectives: (1) public disclosure of physical impacts resulting from plant operation, (2) presentation of the basis for the staff analysis, and (3) presentation of staff conclusions regarding physical impacts of station operation to the community. If the site is remote from communities and does not represent a visual intrusion, and it is found that the applicant can operate in compliance with appropriate guides and standards, then these facts should be
