g steps: (1) Ensure that ` data are sufficient to provide quantitative information on the hydrological resources potentially affecting or affected by plant construction and operation ` Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies appropriate to the objectives of this environmental review have been consulted NUREG-1555 2.3.1-8 October 1999 ` sufficient data are provided for the assessment of anticipated impacts during the period of plant operation. (2) Where necessary, evaluate the collection of additional data and the substantiation of methodology used to estimate hydrological parameters. (3) Assess the hydrological descriptions with respect to relevancy, completeness, reliability, and accuracy of input to the impact assessments of other sections. (4) Verify that the measurements and data development programs use accepted hydrological practice (which includes those identified in the references listed in this ESRP). IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The reviewer should verify that sufficient information has been provided to support the analyses required in subsequent reviews. The depth and extent of the input to the EIS will be governed by the nature of the surface-water bodies and groundwater aquifers in the region and the extent to which they could affect or be affected by plant construction or operation. The following information should be included in the EIS: ` a description of the sources of water to be used by the plant ` a description of the potential impacts of the water bodies on the plant ` a description of the potential impacts of the plant on water bodies. V. IMPLEMENTATION The method described herein will be used by the staff in evaluating conformance with the Commission’s regulations, except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative for complying with specified portions of the regulations.
