State agencies (e.g., water resources, fish and wildlife) October 1999 2.3.2-7 NUREG-1555 ` various Federal agencies, such as the Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Geological Survey, and Native American tribal agencies when needed to complete the analysis. Local water users may be questioned during the site visit. (5) Using the above information, compile and tabulate water uses by the categories and characteristics described in this ESRP section, but limit the analysis to consideration of present and known future water uses. (6) Ensure that water-use data and information are adequate to serve as a basis for assessing the impacts of proposed project construction and operation on consumptive and nonconsumptive water uses. (a) In evaluating the adequacy of this material, the reviewer should ensure that data are ` sufficient to provide quantitative information on water-use characteristics to be impacted by construction and operation ` are adequate to predict water-use impacts to the plant during construction and operation. (b) Consult with appropriate Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies in making this evaluation. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The depth and extent of the input to the environmental impact statement (EIS) will be governed by the water uses that could be affected by the proposed project construction or operation (or that may affect the plant) and by the nature and magnitude of the expected impacts to water use. The following information should be included in the EIS: ` a summary of present and known future groundwater withdrawals on the site and for distances great enough to cover potentially affected groundwater aquifers. Appropriate maps or descriptions from ESRP 2.3.1 will be referenced to depict the groundwater hydrology. References to applicable State and Native American tribal water-use laws should also be included. ` a summary of present and known future surface-water uses that are within the hydrological system in
