REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s identification and assessment of the direct physical impacts of plant operation on the community. Among these are the affects of noise, odors, exhausts, thermal emissions, and visual intrusion. The scope of the review directed by this plan should be of sufficient detail to permit the reviewer to predict and assess potential impacts and to evaluate how these impacts should be treated in the licensing process. Where necessary, the reviewer should consider alternative locations, designs, and procedures that would mitigate predicted adverse impacts. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should receive input from or provide input to reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: • ESRPs 2.1 and 2.2.1. Provide a detailed description of the plant location and the surrounding region affected by the plant operations. ` ESRP 2.3.2. Obtain descriptions of bodies of water whose use is likely to be affected by noise, odor, dust, or other direct socioeconomic impacts during plant operations or which could be affected aesthetically by plant operations. NUREG-1555 5.8.1-2 October 1999 • ESRP 2.5. Obtain the socioeconomic features such as population and community characteristics of the site environs that potentially may be subject to physical impacts from plant operations. • ESRP 2.7. Obtain estimates of the impacts of non-radiological emissions related to plant construction on air quality. • ESRP Chapter 3.0. Use the description of the proposed plant operations to determine what physical impacts on the surrounding region may result. • ESRP 4.1.1. Obtain the potential environmental impacts from plant operations on local land use that may have associated physical impacts. • ESRP 4.4.1. Obtain the physical impacts that were associated with plant construction to determine whether they might also apply for plant
