nd finish (from the ER) ` topographic maps (15-minute scale as a rule) or aerial photographs showing the proposed corridor or corridors and all existing major high voltage corridors in the region. The applicant should provide siting data for all potential corridors identified by the applicant. ` lengths, widths, and area of rights-of-way, including modification and/or use of existing rights-of- way and other facilities for the proposed project (from the ER) ` general methods of construction (e.g., tower foundations, stringing, location of access roads, span length, and clearing of rights-of-way) (from the ER) ` when available, tower and substation locations (from the ER). II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptance criteria for the review of power transmission line siting are based on the relevant requirements of the following: ` 40 CFR 6.203 with respect to descriptions of size, location, land requirements, and operation and maintenance requirements of auxiliary structures such as transmission lines ` 10 CFR 51.53(c)(3)(H) with respect to assessing impacts of transmission systems not meeting National Electric Safety Code (NESC). Regulatory positions and specific criteria necessary to meet the regulations identified above are as follows: ` Regulatory Guide 4.2, Rev. 2, Preparation of Environmental Reports for Nuclear Power Stations (NRC 1976), in which the level of detailed description for the construction and maintenance of these structures and their rights-of-way are identified ` Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Inc. (IEEE 1997) with respect to electric shock hazards ` Applicable Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal standards, guidelines, and requirements. NUREG-1555 3.7-4 October 1999 Technical Rationale The technical rationale for evaluating the applicant’s power transmission system is discussed in the following paragraph: A description and characterization of the proposed transmission system is necessary to evaluate the
