REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s description of the design characteris- tics of the proposed power transmission system. The scope of the review directed by this plan should include the transmission system from the plant switchyard to its connections with existing systems, including lines, corridors,(a) towers, access roads, substations, and communication stations. This review should provide input to other reviews dealing with evaluation of construction and operational impacts associated with land use and ecosystems and to other ESRPs that deal with consideration of alternatives. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from and provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: NUREG-1555 3.7-2 October 1999 ` ESRP 1.2. Provide assurance that the applicant has requested Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) approval for construction of the transmission towers if the tower(s) extends more than 61 m (200 ft) above the ground. ` ESRP 2.2.2. Obtain land-use data as needed to support descriptions of transmission corridors and offsite areas. ` ESRP 2.5.3. Provide the locations of planned transmission corridors. ` ESRPs 4.1, 4.3.1, 4.3.2, 4.4.3, 5.1, 5.6, and 5.8.3. Provide descriptive information to support the assessments related to power transmission. ` ESRPs 4.2.1 and 4.2.2. Provide information on the power transmission corridor as it relates to construction activities. ` ESRP 4.4.1. Provide a detailed description of any power transmission system construction associated with the proposed plant that physically impacts the region, including visual aesthetics. ` ESRPs 5.6.2, 6.5.1, and 6.5.2. Provide the physical characteristics of the power-transmission system and maintenance procedures necessary for determining environmental impacts to the aquatic ecosystems and provide any additional information pertinent to
