pollutant emissions, including mitigating measures and plans to minimize air emissions. • Estimates of building schedule and associated annual air emissions for criteria air pollutants identified in the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. If the proposed site is located in a nonattainment or maintenance area with respect to a criteria pollutant, the emission estimates can DG-4026, Page 74 be used as a basis for assessing the applicability of a conformity analysis (see 40 CFR 93, “Determining Conformity of Federal Actions to State or Federal Implementation Plans,” Subpart B (Ref. 55), and NRC Memorandum, “Revision to Staff Guidance for Conducting General Conformity Determinations” (Ref. 56)). • Estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (expressed in units of CO2 equivalents), including GHG emissions from on-road construction vehicles, commuter vehicles, non-road construction equipment, marine engines, and/or locomotive engines and comparison of these GHG emissions to state and national GHG emissions from Chapter 2. The applicant may provide either a site- specific analysis or refer to the generic GHG footprint for a 1000-MW(e) reactor outlined in COL-ISG-2611 or subsequent interim staff guidance documents or other regulatory guidance. The assumptions, factors, and other information used in any site-specific analysis should be described in sufficient detail to allow an independent evaluation and assessment of the resulting GHG emissions estimate. 4.8 Nonradiological Health The applicant should describe the non-radiological health impacts associated with building activities, including impacts to public and occupational health, noise, and traffic. 4.8.1 Public and Occupational Health The applicant should describe the impacts from building activities on public and worker nonradiological health. The description should include the following: • public health risks from building activities (e.g., air pollution from dust and vehicle emissions) •
