II. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer’s analysis of the social and economic impacts of construction should be linked to the environmental descriptions provided by the reviewer for ESRP 2.5.2 (Community Characteristics). The reviewer should ensure that the environmental factors most likely to be impacted by plant construction are described in sufficient detail to permit assessment of the predicted impacts. Based on these descriptions, the reviewer should identify and analyze components of the regional and community social, political, and economic systems that would be potentially impacted. The reviewer should take the following steps: (1) From the full scope of potential impacts, determine the impacts that are minor and those that are likely to be adverse and thus need detailed analysis. ` Where practical, develop quantitative measures of adverse impacts. ` Consider all impacts identified during the analysis to the extent practical, in terms of location, duration, and magnitude. ` Be aware that the duration of some impacts will be longer than the construction period and that the character of such impacts may be altered due to completion of construction and dispersal of the construction labor force. ` Confer with the reviewers for ESRP 4.1, Land-Use Impacts; 4.2, Water-Use Impacts; and 4.3, Ecological Impacts, to determine if any of the construction impacts identified under these sections are of sufficient social or economic consequence to be examined further under this plan. NUREG-1555 4.4.2-6 October 1999 (2) Consider the socioeconomic impacts of construction on regional housing and public services such as safety, social services, tourism and recreation, public utilities, education, transportation, and offsite land use. (3) For analytical purposes, it is effective to categorize impacts into those directly resulting from plant construction and those resulting from the activities and demands of the construction labor force. Analyze the social and economic impacts
