such as areas to be cleared along stream banks and areas proposed for the disposal of dredged material (from the environmental report [ER] and ESRP Section 3.1) ` the proposed schedule of construction activities ` the clearing methods, temporary and permanent erosion, runoff, and siltation control methods, dust suppression methods, and other construction practices for control or suppression specific to the site (from the ER) ` the area of disturbance for each habitat type listed in the top two items above and the total aquatic area to be disturbed, and an estimate of the amount of these habitats that will be destroyed relative to the total amount present in the region (from the ER) ` the aquatic areas to be covered by permanent station facilities (from the ER) NUREG-1555 4.3.2-4 October 1999 ` any proposed construction or refurbishment activity expected to impact “important” species and habitats (from the ER) ` tolerances and/or susceptibilities of “important” biota to physical and chemical pollutants of construction origin (from the ER and the general literature). Additional background information about the aquatic ecology, hydrology, water quality, and the impacts of hydrological alterations and water use, that is necessary for this review of impacts on aquatic resources from construction, should be obtained from the reviewers of ESRPs 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 2.3.3, 2.4.2, and 4.2, the ER, and from consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies. The following data and information about transmission corridors and offsite areas should also be obtained: ` the clearing methods, erosion, runoff and siltation control methods (both temporary and permanent), dust-suppression methods, and other construction practices for impact control or minimization that are specific to the proposed transmission system (from the ER). ` the water bodies and wetlands crossed or spanned that are expected to have tower foundations located within
