AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s analysis and assessment of potential plant intake system impacts on aquatic ecosystems. The scope of the review directed by this plan should include an analysis of the effects of entrapment, impingement, and entrainment in sufficient detail to allow the reviewer to predict potential impacts on “important species” and to evaluate the significance of such impacts. The review should be extended to consider the effects of altered circulation patterns and reentrainment of heated effluents if these effects are determined to be significant. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from or provide input to reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRP 2.4.2. Obtain a description of the aquatic ecology in the vicinity of the site, especially those resources potentially affected by the cooling-water intake system. ` ESRP 3.1. Obtain information about the power plant’s external appearance and layout in enough detail to support the analyses made in ESRP 5.3.1.2. NUREG-1555 5.3.1.2-2 October 1999 ` ESRP 3.4.1. Obtain a description of the cooling system and its operational modes in enough detail to support the analyses made in ESRP 5.3.1.2. ` ESRP 5.2.1. Obtain information regarding hydrological alterations from operation and the adequacy of the plant water supply so that an evaluation
