quest that the applicant propose measures for mitigating the impact from the noise. Analyze these mitigation measures and forward them to the reviewer for ESRP 5.10. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS NUREG-1555 5.3.4-6 October 1999 Thermophilic Microorganisms When the reviewer determines that the applicant’s plant does not fall within the parameters discussed above (uses a cooling pond, lake, or canal or uses once-through cooling systems with discharges to other than small rivers), then the reviewer should provide a statement for the EIS similar to the following: The applicant’s plant utilizes a cooling system as described in ESRP 3.4.1. Because this system does not use a cooling pond, lake, or canal or discharge to a river with a flow rate below 9 x 1010 m3/yr (3.15 x 1012 ft3/yr), there is little potential for a detrimental increase in thermophilic microorganisms that would have a deleterious effect on public health (NUREG-1437). Therefore, no further analysis is necessary. If the reviewer determines that the applicant’s plant does fall within the parameters given above, i.e., uses a cooling pond, lake, or canal or uses once-through cooling with a discharge to a small river (9 x 1010 cubic meters per year [3.15 x 1012 cubic feet per year]), then the reviewer should ` Provide the results of the analyses and evaluation given above, including the results of the consultation with the State Public Health Department, related to any regional outbreaks of waterborne diseases. ` Discuss any mitigative measures that should be used to minimize negative human health impacts resulting from a potential increase in the levels of deleterious thermophilic microorganisms. Noise When the reviewer determines that the applicant’s plant does not have mechanical or natural-draft cooling towers, then the reviewer should provide a statement for the EIS similar to the following: The applicant’s plant utilizes a cooling system as described in ESRPs 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 that does not depend on a
