local land use that may have associated physical impacts. • ESRP 4.4.1. Obtain the physical impacts that were associated with plant construction to determine whether they might also apply for plant operations. ` ESRP 5.3.3.1. Obtain descriptions of impacts on plumes, solids deposition, cloud formation, ground- level humidity, etc. as a result of operation of the heat discharge system that could affect recreational activity or aesthetics. • ESRP 5.5. Obtain impacts associated with operations of the plant nonradioactive waste system that might also cause other physical impacts. • ESRP 5.5.3. Determine whether impacts associated with plant cooling system operations might also cause other physical impacts during plant operations. • ESRP 5.10. Provide a list of applicant commitments and staff evaluations of measures and controls to limit adverse impacts of operation. • ESRPs 9.3 and 9.4. If the reviewer concludes that there are physical impacts of operation that are adverse and should be avoided, then provide a request to the reviewers for ESRPs 9.3 and 9.4 to consider alternative plant designs, locations, or operating procedures that would avoid the impacts. Data and Information Needs The type of data and information needed will be affected by site- and station-specific factors, and the degree of detail should be modified according to the anticipated magnitude of the potential impacts. The following data or information should be obtained: ` plant layout (from ESRP 3.1) ` distribution of people, buildings, roads, and recreational facilities that are vulnerable to impact by plant operation (from the environmental report [ER and local planning officials.]) October 1999 5.8.1-3 NUREG-1555 ` predicted noise levels and nonradiological air pollutant levels at sensitive areas as identified above (from the ER) ` plant visual appearance from sensitive surrounding areas (from ESRP 3.1). Consider visual aesthetic and visibility effects of visual plumes. ` applicable
