sed location of the intake and discharge structures in relationship to the presence and function of aquatic habitats and biota. • Quantity and quality of habitat temporarily or permanently modified, lost, or fragmented as a result of building activities. • Discussion of the tolerances and/or susceptibilities of important aquatic species on the site and in the vicinity to physical or hydrological alterations, runoff, turbidity, and chemical and noise (both surface and subsurface) pollution that may result from building activities. • Spatiotemporal distribution shifts or behavioral alterations of important species that may result from building activities. • A summary of any correspondence or discussions with FWS, National Marine Fisheries Service or, State, local, or Tribal natural resource agencies about the effect of building activities on important species or habitats including federally designated critical habitat. Briefly summarize and provide copies of key correspondence (e.g., letters, e-mails, or phone call summaries). 4.4 Socioeconomics The ER should describe socioeconomic impacts that could occur in the region surrounding the proposed site as a result of building activities. Socioeconomic impacts from building activities occur primarily within the economic region identified in Chapter 2 of this RG. The economic region is defined by the demographic characteristics within the 50-mi region surrounding the proposed site. However, the analysis should consider the entire demographic region surrounding the site when appropriate. The scope of the review should be guided by the magnitude and nature of the expected impacts of building the DG-4026, Page 67 proposed project and by the site-specific community characteristics that may be affected by these activities. 4.4.1 Physical Impacts This section should address the direct physical impacts to the community, including people, buildings, transportation infrastructure (roads, railways, and waterways), and the
