REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s description and evaluation of the applicant’s preapplication, site preparation and construction, preoperational, and operational hydrological monitoring programs. The scope of the review directed by this plan includes evaluations of (1) the accuracy of data, (2) adequacy of data collection, and (3) analytical methods used in the hydrological monitoring programs. If elements of the monitoring programs are determined to be inadequate, identification and evaluation of potential supplemental programs should be prepared. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from and provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRP 2.3.1. Obtain descriptions of the hydrology of the region surrounding the proposed plant site. ` ESRP 2.3.2. Obtain descriptions of the regional water uses (e.g., the location and nature of water users and water-use areas) for the area surrounding the proposed plant site. ` ESRP 3.4. Obtain descriptions of the cooling system of the proposed plant. NUREG-1555 6.3-2 October 1999 ` ESRPs 4.2 and 5.2. Obtain descriptions of preoperational baseline hydrologic monitoring programs that were developed and evaluated, based on analyses of the impacts of hydrological alterations, plant water supply, and water-use changes caused by plant construction or operation. ` ESRP 4.3.2. Obtain descriptions of programs for monitoring the impacts of the proposed plant operations on aquatic ecosystems that were identified and evaluated. ` ESRPs 5.3.1 and 5.3.2. Obtain descriptions of the hydrologic effects of intakes to and discharges from the plant’s cooling system. Obtain a discussion of any preoperational baseline hydrologic monitoring programs necessary to assess physical impacts of the intake and discharge system operation. ` ESRP 6.7. Provide a list of evaluated
