actors. In following this procedure, the reviewer should initially consider only the environmental factors, and should repeat the procedure for economic factors only for those alternatives shown to be environmentally preferable by the evaluation procedures of this ESRP. The analysis of those alternative transmission systems not eliminated by the initial screening process should be based on the environmental and economic factors shown in Table 9.4.3-1. The reviewer should prepare a similar table for each transmission system element under consideration, comparing each of the environmental and economic cost and benefit factors with those of the proposed transmission system element. Information for this table may be prepared either in terms of absolute environmental and economic costs and benefits, or as incremental costs and benefits referenced to the proposed system. Additional factors may be included when needed on a site- or system-specific basis as follows: (1) Alternative Corridor Routes (a) The reviewer’s analysis of alternative corridor routes should be based on a comparison of those routes with the proposed routes described in ESRP 3.7. The comparison may be made for com- plete routes or for route segments, as appropriate, and should consider those factors listed under the heading “Data and Information Needs” in this ESRP. (b) The reviewer should consider both environmental and economic factors, using a tabular format similar to that shown in Table 9.4.3-1. The reviewer should consult with the reviewer for ESRP 3.7 and the appropriate ESRP Chapter 4.0 and 5.0 reviewers to establish construction and operation impacts for the proposed corridor routes. The reviewer’s comparison of these data with those for the alternative corridors should involve the following: NUREG-1555 9.4.3-8 October 1999 Table 9.4.3-1.
