view (see Acceptance Criteria in this ESRP). Ensure that Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies appropriate to the objectives of this environ- mental review have been consulted and that the provisions of any applicable Memoranda of Under- standing with the NRC have been considered. Also ensure that compliance with applicable Fed- eral, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal standards have been determined. Note: For wastes discharged to surface waters, issuance of a NPDES permit provides determina- tion of compliance. (10) Evaluate the descriptions of the treatment systems and their effluent streams to determine that ` all identified waste streams have been considered ` all discharged chemicals and biocides have been considered ` unusual procedures or site-specific problems that could result in unusual environmental impacts are identified. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The discussion in the environmental impact statement (EIS) should be brief and make optimal use of tables and figures to describe the proposed effluent systems. The reviewer should include a description October 1999 3.6.1-5 NUREG-1555 of all effluent systems not covered in ESRPs 3.3.2, 3.6.2, or 3.6.3; the types of treatment; and the meth- ods used for disposing of the effluents. The reviewer should make reference to the water-use diagram included in ESRP 3.3.1. The reviewer should identify the conveyance system carrying effluents to the receiving water bodies and should identify any points of discharge not identified in ESRP 3.3.2. Average and maximum chemical concentrations in the plant effluent should be presented with average and maximum levels of these substances in the receiving waters. The reviewer should compare these levels with applicable effluent limitations and water-quality standards. The table should include annual quantities of chemicals to be discharged. V. IMPLEMENTATION The method described herein will be used by the staff in
