REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s identification and assessment of the direct physical impacts of construction-related activities(a) to the community. Among these are the construction disturbances of noise, odors, vehicle exhaust, dust, vibration, and shock from blasting. The scope of the review directed by this plan should include consideration of impacts resulting from plant construction, transmission corridors and access roads, other offsite facilities, and project-related transportation of goods and materials. The review should be of sufficient detail to predict and assess potential impacts and to show how these impacts should be treated in the licensing process. Where necessary, the reviewer should identify alternative locations, designs, practices, and procedures that would mitigate predicted adverse impacts. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from or provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRPs 2.1 and 2.2. Obtain a detailed description of the plant location and of the surrounding region affected by the plant construction. NUREG-1555 4.4.1-2 October 1999 ` ESRP 2.3.2. Obtain descriptions of bodies of water likely to be affected by noise, odor, transportation, or construction or whose aesthetics would be affected. ` ESRPs 2.5.1 and 2.5.2. Obtain the socioeconomic features such as population and community characteristics of the site environs that potentially may be subject to physical impacts from construction. ` ESRP 2.7. Obtain estimates of the impacts of non-radiological emissions related to plant construction on air quality. ` ESRP 3.1. Obtain any aspects of the plant’s appearance that may cause physical impacts in the region, including visual aesthetics. ` ESRP 3.7. Provide a detailed description of any power transmission system construction associated with the plant that
