er Resulting from Surges, Seiches, or Tsunami): If the site is 17 susceptible to such phenomena, minimum water levels resulting from setdown (sometimes called runout or rundown) from hurricane surges, seiches, and tsunami must be higher than the intake design basis for essential water supplies. For coastal sites, the appropriate probable maximum hurricane(PMH) wind fields must be postulated to give maximum winds blowing offshore, thus creating a probable minimum surge level. Low water levels on inland ponds, lakes, and rivers due to surges must be estimated from probable maximum winds oriented away from the plant site. The same general analysis methods discussed in Standard Review Plan Sections 2.4.3,
