uired to be present in the EIS pursuant to 10 CFR 51.71. NUREG-1555 5.8.1-4 October 1999 Reasonably detailed information about the physical socioeconomic impacts of the site in question is required to assess any potential of social or economic impacts that might occur as a result of plant operation. Data in the ER must be adequate to make these determinations. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer’s analysis of operational impacts on the community will be linked to the environmental reviews directed by ESRPs 2.1, 2.2.1, 2.5.1, and 2.5.2; all of ESRP Chapter 3.0; and ESRPs 5.3.3, 5.5.1, and 5.5.2 to ensure that the environmental factors most likely to be impacted by proposed plant operation are adequately addressed. To evaluate the information presented in the applicant’s environmental report, the reviewer should take the following steps: (1) Identify the people, buildings, roads, and recreational facilities that could be affected for each potential impact. ` Determine the - sensitive use patterns (e.g., hospitals, residences, recreational areas, viewsheds) - allowable limits of impacts, where available. ` Consider impacts from noise, air pollution, and visual intrusion. (2) Identify the potential operational impacts on these elements and predict the extent and magnitude of the impacts. Impacts may be described in qualitative terms if the effect on the community is expected to be small. (3) If adverse impacts can be predicted, conduct a more detailed analysis and, where practical, make quantitative estimates of the magnitude of the impacts. (4) Consult with the reviewer for ESRP 4.1.1 to identify the construction features that are expected to have operational impacts (e.g., access roads). If operational impacts are projected to be temporary extensions of the construction impact, this may be noted, and no further analysis will be needed. (5) Consult with the reviewers of both ESRPs 3.7 and 4.4.1 to complete the analysis of visual impacts, with emphasis on the
