Content:
rief discussion for each important species (or representative species as indicated in Table 2-1), which considers all life stages necessary to support an assessment of potential effects on the species from the project. Include a description of their temporal and spatial (including depth) distribution and abundance and any observed occurrence in relationship to the intake and discharge sites and frequency of observations, if appropriate. • A summary related to any correspondence or discussions with the FWS, NMFS, or State, local or Tribal natural resource agencies on important species or habitats associated with the proposed project (Table 2-1) including endangered, threatened, or special status species and federally designated critical habitat. Briefly summarize and provide copies of key correspondence (e.g., letters, e-mail, or phone call summaries). When proposed new transmission corridors, pipeline corridors, or affected offsite areas would intersect or be adjacent to aquatic resources, the following information should be included in the ER to the extent the information is available to the applicant: • A map or figure and description of the location of important aquatic species and habitats known or expected to be present in the vicinity of the transmission and pipeline corridors and affected offsite areas together with any specific habitat requirements or community interrelationships; e.g., areas that have been designated as an evolutionary significant unit, distinct population segment, critical habitat, or essential fish habitat. 2.4 Socioeconomics The applicant should provide sufficient data and information in the ER to establish the environmental baseline for estimates of socioeconomic effects, including: the demographic region, and the economic region. The demographic region is defined as the site and the surrounding area within a 50-mi radius from the center of the proposed site. The 50-mi radius should encompass the majority of population groups
