gories: October 1999 2.4.2-3 NUREG-1555 - biological (from the environmental report [ER] and the general literature) - hydrological (from ESRP 2.3.1) - physiochemical (from ESRP 2.3.3). ` maps showing “important” aquatic habitats (“important” habitat defined in Table 2.4.2-1 [see p. 2.4.2-7]) of the site and vicinity ` the temporal and spatial (including depth) distribution and abundance of “important” aquatic species, especially in the discharge area and receiving water body. Such critical life-support requirements as spawning areas, nursery grounds, food habits, feeding areas, wintering areas, and migration routes (to the extent that power plant construction or operation is expected to affect these parameters). Map where applicable (from the ER, the general literature, and consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies) ` the location and value of the commercial and sport fisheries and the seasonal distribution of harvest by species (from the ER, the general literature, and consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies) ` endangered and threatened aquatic species that are known to be present or could potentially occur onsite and an identification of their other locations and critical habitats within the region. Also identify specific habitat requirements (e.g., thermal tolerance ranges), community interrelationships, and relative abundance (from the ER, the general literature, and consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies). ` key aquatic indicator organisms expected to gauge changes in the distribution and abundance of species populations that are particularly vulnerable to impacts from plant construction or operation (from ER) ` the presence of “nuisance” species such as Corbicula sp. or Mytilus sp. onsite or in the vicinity of the plant and that are capable of blocking or bio-fouling the cooling
