Content:
evation of wells (total and cased) and water levels with respect to the plant - identification of aquifers - average monthly withdrawal rates. ` operational activities expected to result in hydrologic alterations within the site and vicinity, along transmission corridors, or at offsite areas. These activities can include dredging operations, opera- tions affecting water levels, and dewatering activities (from the ER). ` identification and description of the hydrological alterations resulting from the identified operational activities. These can include changes in the flood handling capability of the floodplain, flow and circulation patterns, erosion subsidence, water availability, and sediment transport (from the ER).(a) NUREG-1555 5.2.1-4 October 1999 ` identification and locations of surface-water and groundwater users (including aquatic ecosystems) and water-use areas that could be affected by hydrologic alterations resulting from plant operation (from ESRP 2.3.2, the ER and the site visit) ` a summary of statutory and other legal restrictions relating to plant water use and water consumption (from ESRP 2.3.2 and the ER) ` descriptions of proposed means to ensure compliance with standards and regulations affecting plant water use and water consumption, and proposed practices and measures to limit or minimize opera- tional hydrologic alterations (from the ER). II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptance criteria for the review of the hydrologic alterations at the proposed plant sites are based on the relevant requirements of the following regulations: ` 33 CFR 322 with respect to definition of activities requiring permits ` 33 CFR 330, Appendix A, with respect to conditions, limitations, and restrictions on construction activities ` 40 CFR 6, Appendix A, with respect to procedures on floodplain and wetlands protection ` 40 CFR 122 with respect to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit conditions for discharges, including storm water discharges `
