owing data or information will be needed: October 1999 6.5.2-3 NUREG-1555 ` a map showing detailed features of the site (as modified by the proposed station), including major hydrological features and proposed or existing sampling-station and monitoring locations (from the environmental report [ER]) ` a list and description of the “important” aquatic species and habitats that are likely to be affected by plant or transmission line construction, maintenance, or operation (from ESRP 2.4.2) ` a list of monitoring program elements or parameters, including action or report levels for each element ` the type, frequency, and duration of observations or samples taken at each laboratory, and appropriate rationale and sampling design (from the ER) ` the statistical validity of any existing or proposed sampling program. For quantitative descriptions of samples collected within each area of interest and each time of interest, descriptive statistics should include, unless justifiably omitted, the mean standard deviation, standard error, and confidence interval for the mean. In each case, the sample size should be clearly indicated. If diversity indices are used to describe a collection of aquatic organisms, the specific diversity indices used should be stated. Also, describe the methods used for observing natural variations of ecological parameters. If these methods involve indicator organisms, the criteria for their selection should be stated. Statistical and data quality requirements for the monitoring program should be provided, using, as applicable, the Data Quality Objectives process (EPA 1994) (from the ER). ` sampling equipment used (from the ER) ` sample-analysis procedures (from the ER) ` data analyses and reporting procedures (from the ER) ` the applicant’s National Pollutant Elimination System (NPDES) permit, if available (from the ER) ` documentation of applicant consultations with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the EPA, or other appropriate Federal,
