e impacts that were developed as a result of this review of circulating water system alternatives. ` ESRPs 10.4.1 and 10.4.2. Provide relevant data and information to the appropriate ESRP Chapter 10.0 reviewers to permit the inclusion of any such alternatives in the final evaluation of the proposed action if an obviously superior alternative circulating water system or system component is identified. October 1999 9.4.2-3 NUREG-1555 ` Interface with Environmental Project Manager (EPM). Obtain input from the EPM when an alternative circulating water system appears to be environmentally preferable and meets regulatory requirements. Data and Information Needs The degree of detail should be modified according to the anticipated magnitude of potential impacts of the proposed systems and to the practicability of adapting the reviewed alternative to the proposed site. Data or information should be obtained for the following systems: (1) Intake Systems ` sketches or preliminary designs and operational characteristics of alternative intake systems, showing the intake design and its relationship to water surface, bottom geometry, shoreline, and discharge structure (from the environmental report [ER]) ` alternative pumping facilities, if proposed (from the ER) ` alternative locations of the proposed intake system and pumping facility on the same waterbody (from the ER) ` alternative procedures and schedules for intake defouling, including any use of defouling chemicals (from the ER) ` descriptions and operational characteristics of any alternative trash racks, traveling screens, trash baskets, or fish return systems (from the ER) ` predicted physical impacts from hydrologic alternatives and impacts to aquatic ecosystems, including entrapment, impingement, and entrainment, for each alternative intake system (from the ER) ` capital, maintenance, and operating costs for each alternative intake system and costs associated with system adaptation to the proposed site (from the ER).
