on of I or II, assess the productivity of the land to provide input to the benefit-cost balance in ESRP 10.4. October 1999 4.1.1-9 NUREG-1555 ` Consider a State’s published documents on agricultural statistics, including crop and animal production statistics and land areas by county. ` Consult with State and local agricultural, soil conservation, and cooperative extension agencies to complete this assessment. (2) Analyzing the Short-Term Physical Changes in Land Use of the Site and Vicinity and the Applicant’s Plans for Mitigation of Adverse Impacts: (a) Consider mitigation measures for adverse impacts. Matters to be assessed include earth leveling, revegetation, landscaping, cleanup and disposal of debris, erosion control structures, land management practices, stabilization of spoil piles, and stabilization of dikes on cooling lakes. (b) Consider staff practices for applications to withdraw or terminate a license or license application after site work has been conducted.

(3) Analyzing the Construction Impacts on the Geologic Environment: (a) Consult with the staff safety evaluation reviewers for geology (ESRP 2.6) for an evaluation of the impact of station construction on the geologic environment and for appropriate licensing conditions. (b) Determine whether construction of the plant would prevent the exploitation at the proposed site or in the vicinity of mineral resources (e.g.,
