s and any deficiencies identified in the plan that should be corrected by additional monitoring provisions. Data and Information Needs The type of data and information needed will be affected by site- and station-specific factors, and the degree of detail should be modified according to (1) the anticipated magnitude of the potential site preparation and construction impacts, (2) the need for adequate preoperational baseline environmental data, and (3) the types of environmental releases that may occur. The following data or information should be obtained: ` site preparation and construction monitoring (from the environmental report [ER]) ` preoperational monitoring (from the ER) ` operational monitoring (from the ER). II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptance criteria for the review of efforts to limit adverse impacts during operation are based on the relevant requirements of the following: ` 10 CFR 51, Appendix A, with respect to discussion of alternatives and mitigating measures to avoid or minimize adverse impacts. Regulatory positions and specific criteria necessary to meet the regulations identified above are as follows: ` Regulatory Guide 4.2, Rev. 2, Preparation of Environmental Reports for Nuclear Power Stations (NRC 1976), contains guidance on the measures planned to reduce undesirable effects of station operation ` Regulatory Guide 4.8, Rev. 0, Preparation of Environmental Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants (NRC 1975), contains guidance on the environmental-surveillance program. ` Regulatory Guide 4.15, Rev. 1, Quality Assumptions for Radiological Monitoring Programs (NRC 1979), contains guidance on quality of measurement results October 1999 6.7-3 NUREG-1555 Technical Rationale The technical rationale for evaluating the applicant’s monitoring programs is discussed in the following paragraph: Environmental monitoring is needed to establish baseline or reference environmental conditions preceding plant construction and operation to identify and
