-program elements. ` ESRP 9.3.1. Provide a list of adverse land-use impacts that could be avoided or mitigated through alternative heat dissipation system designs or operational procedures, and assist in determining appropriate alternatives. ` ESRP 9.4.2. Provide land-use impact information that can be used to compare alternative circulating water systems. ` ESRP 10.1. Provide a summary of the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts on land use that are predicted to occur as a result of plant operation. ` ESRP 10.2. Provide a summary of irreversible and irretrievable commitments of land-use resources that are predicted to occur as a result of plant operation. ` ESRP 10.3. Provide land-use information at the proposed site and its vicinity related to short term uses and long-term productivity of the environment. Data and Information Needs The type of data and information required 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: ` a description of the heat dissipation system, including type, location, size, and schedule of operation (from ESRP 3.4.1) ` for plants using spray cooling ponds, or mechanical draft or natural draft cooling towers, the length and duration of elevated plumes and drift predictions (from ESRPs 5.3.3.1 and 5.3.3.2) October 1999 5.1.1-3 NUREG-1555 ` maps showing land use within the site and vicinity. Land-use categories should be consistent with those defined in USGS (1997) (from ESRP 2.2.1). ` tabulations of land areas devoted to major uses within the site vicinity. Land-use categories should be consistent with those defined in USGS (1997) (from ESRP 2.2.1). ` information on sensitivity of resident species to salts expected from effluents from cooling towers and spray ponds (from the environmental report [ER]) ` location of roads and bridges within the site vicinity (from ESRP
