REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s analysis, evaluation, and balancing of the benefits and costs of the proposed project leading to a final decision as to the acceptability of the project (1) as proposed by the applicant or (2) as proposed by the applicant with modifications identified by the staff. The reviewer may rely on an independent analysis of benefits by State or regional authorities, rely on the applicant’s analysis, or prepare an independent assessment. If the applicant’s analysis is reviewed, the reviewer must ensure that the applicant’s assumption, data, and methods have been accepted by all reviewers for ESRP Chapters 3.0, 5.0, 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0. If reviewers have provided the independent analysis, the review in this ESRP should be modified accordingly. The scope of the review directed by this plan includes construction and operating benefits and costs. If staff alternatives have been identified to mitigate or avoid adverse environmental impacts, the reviewer of this section should analyze, evaluate, and balance the costs of each such alternative against the environmental improvements achieved to reach a decision as to disposition of the recommendation. The final balancing will be of the proposed plant design as requested by the applicant with the modifications deemed to be cost beneficial.
