REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s description of the terrestrial envi- ronment and biota of the site, transmission corridors, and offsite areas likely to be impacted by the construction, maintenance, or operation of the proposed project. This review should provide input to reviews dealing with evaluation of construction or operational impacts on terrestrial ecosystems and to other reviews that are concerned with land use. The scope of the review directed by this plan includes identification and description of species compo- sition, spatial and temporal distribution, abundance, and other structural and functional attributes of biotic assemblages that could be impacted by the proposed action. The scope should also include the identification of any “important” terrestrial natural resources (see Table 2.4.1-1 on p. 2.4.1-7) and the location of wildlife sanctuaries and natural areas that might be impacted by the proposed action. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from or provide input to reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRP 2.2.1. Obtain information about land use of the site and vicinity to complete the description of the site’s terrestrial ecology. NUREG-1555 2.4.1-2 October 1999 ` ESRP 2.2.2. Obtain information about land use of the transmission line corridors, access corridors, and other pertinent offsite areas to complete the description of the site’s terrestrial ecology. ` ESRP 2.8. Provide appropriate information on the principal terrestrial ecological features of the site and vicinity in sufficient detail to allow for an evaluation of the cumulative impacts to the terrestrial ecosystems resulting from related Federal project activities. ` ESRP 4.1.1. Provide appropriate information on the principal terrestrial ecological features of the site and vicinity in sufficient detail to allow for
