2, 5.2.2, 5.3, and 5.5. Provide descriptive water-quality information in these ESRPs in sufficient detail to support the assessment of the water-use and aquatic ecosystem impacts of plant construction and operation proposed by the reviewers for ESRPs 4.2, 4.3, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.5. ` ESRPs 6.5.2 and 6.6. Provide descriptive water-quality information in these ESRPs in sufficient detail to support the assessment of the adequacy of the baseline aquatic ecology and water-quality monitoring program in ESRPs 6.5.2 and 6.6. Data and Information Needs The type of data and information needed will be affected by site- and station-specific factors. The degree of detail should be modified according to the anticipated magnitude of the potential impacts. The following data and information should be obtained: ` the mean, range, and temporal and spatial variations of the surface-water and groundwater-quality characteristics - For surface waters: water temperature, suspended solids, total dissolved solids, hardness, turbidity, color, odor, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), phosphorus forms (total and orthophosphate), nitrogen forms (ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, organic), alkalinity, chlorides, sulfate, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, heavy metals (e.g., Hg, Pb), pH, phytoplankton (chlorophyll a), and indicator microorganisms (e.g., total coliform, fecal coliforms, fecal streptococci) (from the environmental report [ER] and from consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies) - For groundwaters: the above surface-water data, minus phytoplankton and with silica, iron, carbon dioxide, and bicarbonate added (from the environmental report [ER] and from consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies) ` other site-specific water-quality characteristics (from the ER and consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected
