PROCEDURES Questions or items of staff concern are to be developed by the reviewers of the organization responsible for the review of issues related to hydrology and discussed in detail with the Branch Chief 7-14 days before the scheduled site visit. For any unscheduled site visit (which may be necessary to resolve issues or prepare for hearings), similar questions or items of staff concern should be prepared at least 3 days prior to such site visits and also discussed in detail with the Branch Chief. Areas of overlap or interfaces with reviewers in other areas (such as geology, foundation engineering, auxiliary and power conversion systems, mechanical engineering, effluent treatment systems, and structural engineering) should be coordinated before questions or items of staff concern are finalized. The staff reviewers for Hydrologic Description will discuss any unusual or potentially controversial areas of concern with the Chief of the organization responsible for the review of issues related to hydrology prior to transmittal of the questions or items of staff concern to the Project Manager. Transmittal will be forwarded by memo route slip through the Branch Chief. Site visits are generally to consist of a detailed reconnaissance of site areas and environs with the applicant and technical counterparts, discussions of questions (or items of staff concern), discussions of acceptable methods of analysis, and a general summarization of the areas discussed and conclusions reached.

For verbal summarization during the site visit, the recommended method is 2.4.1-15 Revision 3 - March 2007 to have
