Content:
ccur within and adjacent to the proposed corridors, their spatial and temporal distributions, critical habitats (as appropriate), and their life histories (including critical life stages, biologically significant activities, seasonal habitat requirements and population fluctuations, food chain and other interspecific relationships) (from the ER and consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies) ` where proposed transmission lines cross important waterfowl areas, a list of descriptions of these areas and data on the local abundance and distribution of waterfowl, their seasonal status, and local flight patterns (from the ER and consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies) ` lists of species that are of concern as disease vectors or pests. Detailed field surveys of such species are not needed (from the ER and consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies) ` a more-detailed examination of any segment of the rights-of-way determined to be particularly sensitive to impacts of construction ` a summary of any preexisting environmental stress from such sources such as pollutants, as well as pertinent ecological conditions suggestive of such stresses. A discussion of histories of any infestations, epidemics, or catastrophes (caused by natural phenomena) that have had a significant impact on biota in the vicinity of the transmission corridors should also be included. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptance criteria for the review of terrestrial ecology on and in the vicinity of the site and transmission corridors are based on the relevant requirements of the following: ` 10 CFR 51.75 with respect to descriptions of the environment affected by the issuance of a construction permit ` 10 CFR 52, Subpart A, with respect to descriptions of the environment affected by the issuance of an early site permit ` 10 CFR 51.95 with respect to the
