-specific data for adequacy, accuracy, and completeness. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The depth and extent of the input to the EIS should be governed by the kinds of aquatic ecological resources that could be affected by plant construction or operation and by the nature and magnitude of the expected impacts to these resources. The reviewer should prepare as input to the EIS descriptions of the onsite and offsite areas potentially affected by the proposed project. The input should be brief and should contain the following information: ` the principal aquatic ecological features of the site and vicinity and those sensitive offsite areas affected by transmission and access corridors and related facilities, with emphasis on the communities of the ecosystem that will be potentially affected by project construction, operation, or maintenance. This information should be based on an analysis of at least one full year of data to reflect seasonal variations in aquatic populations. Thus, the extent of discussion of various biotic components should be in proportion to the estimated severity of impacts and should be adequate to support the assessment of ESRP Chapters 4.0 and 5.0. ` descriptions of environmental or man-induced stresses to aquatic biota at the existing site and vicinity October 1999 2.4.2-7 NUREG-1555 Table 2.4.2-1.
