tent of ERs, including miscellaneous gaseous and liquid and solid effluents. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for evaluating the applicant’s nonradioactive waste systems for miscellaneous gaseous, liquid, and solid effluents is as follows: A detailed and thorough description of all effluents is essential for evaluating potential impacts to the environment that may result from plant construction or operation. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The description of these miscellaneous sources of nonradioactive wastes should be closely linked with the impact assessment review for ESRPs 5.5.1 and 5.5.2 to establish the nonradioactive waste charac- teristics that are most likely to result in environmental impacts. With this in mind, the reviewer should take the following steps: (1) Establish that the information necessary for subsequent impact analysis and comparison with regulatory standards is available and consider the manner of proposed waste treatment and control. (2) Describe the procedures for effluent handling and disposal. (3) Compare the proposed effluent systems with standard designs to determine the adequacy of the system (e.g., equipment to remove oil from storm drainage). (4) Consider the handling of dangerous materials. (5) Compare atmospheric emissions with applicable Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal standards. (6) Identify any unusual site-related conditions (e.g., air quality standards) that would affect treatment or release of miscellaneous nonradioactive wastes. (7) Ensure that the descriptions of miscellaneous effluents and treatment systems are adequate to serve as a basis for assessing the impacts of these discharges during plant construction and operation. (8) Ensure that the requirements of Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies appropriate to the objectives of this environmental review have been considered.
