REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s description of the water-quality characteristics of surface-water bodies and groundwater aquifers that could (1) affect plant-water use and effluent disposal or (2) be affected by the construction or operation of the proposed project. The scope of the review directed by this plan should include consideration of site-specific and regional data on the physical, chemical, and biological water-quality characteristics of ground and surface water in sufficient detail to provide the basic data for other reviews dealing with the evaluation of construction or opera- tional water-quality impacts to water bodies, aquifers, aquatic ecosystems, and water use. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from and provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRP 2.3.1. Obtain descriptions of the hydrology of the region surrounding the proposed plant site. ` ESRP 2.3.2. Obtain descriptions of the regional water uses (e.g., the location and nature of water users and water-use areas) for the area surrounding the proposed plant site. ` ESRP 2.4.2. Provide sufficient detail in this ESRP to support the description of the aquatic environment in ESRP 2.4.2. NUREG-1555 2.3.3-2 October 1999 ` ESRPs 3.3.1 and 3.3.2. Provide descriptive water-quality information in these ESRPs in sufficient detail to support the descriptions of the plant water treatment in ESRPs 3.3.1 and 3.3.2. ` ESRP 3.6. Provide descriptive water-quality information in this ESRP in sufficient detail to support the description of the characteristics of the plant water treatment systems discharge in ESRP 3.6. ` ESRPs 4.2.2, 4.3.2, 5.2.2, 5.3, and 5.5. Provide descriptive water-quality information in these ESRPs in sufficient detail to support the assessment of the water-use and aquatic ecosystem impacts of plant construction
