inity of the intake structure(s) (from ESRP 2.3.1) ` maps depicting station layout with respect to the water body, including locations of all intakes and discharges (from ESRPs 3.1 and 3.4.2) ` intake flow rates and velocities as a function of plant operating conditions (from ESRP 3.4.2) ` detailed drawings of the intake structure(s), including the relationship of the structure to the water surface (normal and minimum levels) (from ESRP 3.4.2) ` ambient current patterns in the vicinity of the proposed intake structure(s) (from ESRP 2.3.1) ` descriptions of other intake system design and performance characteristics affecting hydrodynamics (e.g., horizontal and vertical approach velocities, geometry of intake canals, submerged riprap) (from the environmental report [ER]) ` descriptions of spatial and temporal alterations of the ambient flow field and of any other physical hydrologic effects induced by intake-system operation (from the ER). II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptance criteria for the hydrodynamic physical impacts at the proposed plant sites are based on the relevant requirements of the following: ` 33 CFR 322 with respect to definition of activities requiring permits ` 40 CFR 6, Appendix A, with respect to procedures on floodplain and wetlands protection ` 40 CFR 122 with respect to NPDES permit conditions for discharges, including storm water discharges ` 40 CFR 149 with respect to possible supplemental restrictions on waste disposal and water use in or above a sole source aquifer ` Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal water laws and water rights. NUREG-1555 5.3.1.1-4 October 1999 Regulatory positions and specific criteria necessary to meet the regulations as identified above are as follows: ` Compliance with environmental quality standards and requirements of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA), commonly referred to as the Clean Water Act, is not a substitute for and does not negate the requirement for NRC to weigh
