ption of the action, identification, and evaluation of the potential environmental impacts of the action, and evaluation of the alternatives. The review conducted for ESRP 10.1 leads to preparation of a summary of the staff’s findings related to the unavoidable adverse impacts of the proposed action on the environment as required by 10 CFR 51, Appendix A(7). III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer’s analysis and summary of adverse environmental impacts of construction and operation should be based on project design, construction, and operation (1) as proposed by the applicant and (2) which incorporates those measures and controls to limit adverse impacts that the staff consider appropriate. The reviewer should identify these impacts, organize them by environmental categories, and summarize each category for inclusion in the EIS. The following analysis procedure should be used: (1) Consult with the reviewers for ESRPs 4.6 and 5.10, and obtain a list of adverse environmental impacts from project construction and operation. (2) Organize these impacts as follows: (a) staff identified adverse impacts of construction and operation based on the project as proposed by the applicant (b) procedures and practices to mitigate or avoid these impacts (c) unavoidable adverse impacts that remain after all practical means to avoid or mitigate the impact have been taken. (3) Categorize the identified impacts according to the following format: ` land use ` hydrological and water use ` ecological - terrestrial - aquatic ` socioeconomic ` radiological ` atmospheric and meteorological ` environmental justice. NUREG-1555 10.1-4 October 1999 The categories may be further divided into construction and operational impacts if so desired. (4) Prepare a table summarizing the procedure followed in Steps 2 and 3 above, identifying the ESRP that provides details of the staff analysis. The table will describe the nature and magnitude of the impact (see Table 10.1-1 for example). (a) Determine the
