REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s preparation of a summary identification and description of the predicted adverse environmental impacts of plant or project construction and operation that cannot be avoided and for which no practical means of mitigation are available. The scope of the review directed by this plan should include (1) a tabulation of impacts identified by the staff as being adverse, (2) organization of these impacts by environmental categories, and (3) preparation of a summary describing the nature and magnitude of each category of impact. The results of this review should be used to provide (1) a summary of those unavoidable adverse environmental impacts that will remain after all practical mitigation measures have been taken and (2) input to the final benefit-cost balancing of the project. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from or provide input to reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRP 4.6. Obtain lists of unavoidable adverse environmental impacts of plant construction and mitigation measures from this reviewer, which originate with reviewers of ESRPs 4.1.1 through 4.5. NUREG-1555 10.1-2 October 1999 ` Section 5.10. Obtain lists of unavoidable adverse environmental impacts of plant operation and mitigation measures from this reviewer, which originate from the reviewers of 5.1.1 to 5.8.3. ` ESRPs 9.4.1 and 9.4.3. When the reviewers have identified a superior heat dissipation or trans- mission alternative that involves different land or other resource use, this information should be provided for evaluation of unavoidable adverse environmental impacts. ` ESRP 10.2. Provide a list of unavoidable adverse impacts that result in irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources. ` ESRP 10.3. Provide a list categorizing the unavoidable adverse impacts of construction and operation as
