g the proposed plant site. ` ESRP 2.3.3. Obtain descriptions of the baseline water quality of the water sources/bodies for the area surrounding the proposed plant site. ` ESRPs 3.3.1 and 3.3.2. Obtain input regarding expected water use by the proposed plant. ` ESRPs 3.4.1 and 3.4.2. Obtain descriptions of the cooling system of the proposed plant. ` ESRPs 3.6.1 through 3.6.3. Obtain descriptions of the nonradioactive waste systems for the proposed plant. Information regarding the quantity and concentration of waste streams (for chemicals or biocides, sanitary system wastes, and other nonradioactive wastes) should be obtained. ` ESRP 5.2.1. Obtain descriptions of the plant operational activities that could result in hydrologic alterations, the potential hydrologic alterations themselves, and the comparison of plant water needs and the availability of water supplies to meet those needs. ` ESRPs 5.3.1 through 5.3.3. Obtain input regarding the impacts of the proposed plant cooling system on aquatic systems. For the intake system, obtain information regarding the intake hydrodynamics and the physical impacts caused by the flow field induced by the intake. For the discharge system, obtain information regarding the impacts of the plant’s thermal discharges on the receiving water bodies. ` ESRPs 5.5.1 and 5.5.2. Obtain input regarding the impacts of the nonradioactive waste systems (chemical and biocides, sanitary systems, other) for the proposed plant. ` ESRP 5.10. Provide a list of applicant commitments and staff recommendations for measures and controls to limit adverse water-use impacts. ` ESRP 6.3. Obtain a list of identified and evaluated preoperational baseline monitoring programs that will be needed to assess operational impacts to water use. October 1999 5.2.2-3 NUREG-1555 ` ESRPs 9.3 and 9.4. Provide a list of adverse environmental impacts affecting water use that could be mitigated or avoided through alternative project designs or operational procedures, and
