REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s preparation of a description of the proposed plant cooling system and its operational modes. The scope of the review directed by this plan should include a general description of the proposed cooling system and a more detailed identification and description of the anticipated modes of operation of the cooling system. The description to be provided by this review should be in sufficient detail to permit subsequent staff assessment and evaluation of specific impacts of the cooling system as a function of primary and alternative cooling system operational modes. Reviewer Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from or provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRP 1.2. Obtain the status of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. ` ESRP 2.3.3. Obtain baseline water temperature information, including monthly variation and stratification for the body of water used for cooling intake and discharge. NUREG-1555 3.4.1-2 October 1999 ` ESRP 2.7. Provide descriptions of the cooling system and relevant components for use in determining potential impacts of heat dissipation. ` ESRP 3.3.1. Provide descriptions of the plant cooling system and operational modes. ` ESRP 3.4.2. Provide the characteristics of the various operational modes of the cooling system in sufficient detail to support the cooling system component description. ` ESRP 3.6.1. Obtain information on biocides or other chemicals anticipated to be used to control organisms in the cooling system. ` ESRP 4.2.2. Provide information regarding projected water needs of the cooling system. ` ESRP 5.1.1. Provide information specific to operational aspects of cooling system siting. ` ESRPs 5.2.1 and 5.2.2. Provide cooling system characteristics in sufficient detail to support the assessment of impacts
