Content:
on system operation and maintenance to terrestrial ecosystems, (2) a list of the impacts for which there are measures or controls to limit adverse impacts and the associated measures and controls, (3) the applicant’s commitments to limit these impacts, and (4) the staff’s evaluation of the adequacy of the applicant’s measures and controls to limit adverse impacts. This information should be summarized for the reviewer of ESRP 5.10. NUREG-1555 5.6.1-6 October 1999 Staff evaluations of mitigating measures may be discussed, and reference should be made to ESRP 5.10 when measures and controls to limit adverse impacts have been listed by the reviewer. Adverse impacts that cannot be mitigated should be identified, and ESRP 9.4.3 should be referenced if alternatives to avoid these impacts have been identified. If the reviewer verifies that sufficient information has been provided in accordance with the guidelines of this ESRP section, then the evaluation supports the following type of concluding statement to be included in the staff’s EIS: The staff reviewed the available information on impacts to the terrestrial ecology. The staff concludes that the list and description of impacts is adequate to comply with 10 CFR 51.45. 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.
