e) has been described and that the impacts associated with such transfers have been identified and assessed. Hydrologic Alterations When addressing hydrologic alterations, the reviewer should take the following steps: (1) Ensure that the hydrologic alterations identified by the reviewers for ESRPs 5.2.1, 5.3.1.1, and 5.3.2.1 have been analyzed with respect to their potential impacts to water users or water-use areas. ` Compare the effects of these alterations (e.g., turbidity, erosion, sedimentation) with pre- operational conditions to assess the extent of the impact. ` Evaluate impacts for individual water users and for water-use areas. ` Consult with the reviewer for ESRP 5.5 for assistance in this evaluation and to coordinate the overall evaluation of operational impacts due to hydrologic alterations. ` When necessary, consult with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies for assistance. NUREG-1555 5.2.2-8 October 1999 ` Seek means to mitigate or avoid any identified adverse impacts. (2) Seek confirmation that any operational activities affecting a floodplain or wetland have been described by the reviewer for ESRP 5.2.1. ` Consult with appropriate Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies to determine the extent to which such activities will conform with applicable floodplain and wetlands standards. ` Consult with the reviewer for ESRP 5.2.1 and the reviewers for ESRP 9.4 to analyze alternatives to any such activity affecting a floodplain or wetland. (3) Ensure that operational activities that will alter or restrict surface oriented water uses (e.g., commercial and recreational fishing or navigation) have been identified and that their effects on water users have been described. ` Ensure that structurally related impacts on surface oriented water use (e.g., breakwaters or jetties having impacts to navigation) have been addressed by the reviewer for ESRP 4.2.2. ` Identify and assess any
