to the proposed system, and (4) the staff’s conclusions for consideration of alternative systems. The reviewer should discuss briefly those alternatives rejected because of specific deficiencies and should state why the alternative system was rejected. The reviewer should also identify those alterna- tives judged environmentally equivalent or inferior to the proposed system. The use of tables similar to Table 9.4.2-1 to present the staff’s comparison of potentially acceptable alternative circulating water systems is recommended. When the reviewer has concluded that an alternative is environmentally preferable and should be considered as a preferred circulating water system, sufficient additional detail should be presented to justify the alternative both environmentally and on a benefit-cost basis. V. IMPLEMENTATION The method described herein will be used by the staff in evaluating conformance with the Commission’s regulations, except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative for complying with specified portions of the regulations.
