Content:
uatic 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. The staff’s analysis may be provided by referencing the aquatic biota descriptions of ESRP 2.4.2 and describing in brief detail the impacts on those biota that are “important” and susceptible to entrainment, entrapment, or impingement. Types, life stages, and relative abundance of impacted “important” biota should be described, along with specific aspects of proposed intake system operation responsible for such impacts on these biota. This section should provide estimates of survival from these intake system impacts and estimates of the relative or absolute losses to the impacted populations. Staff conclusions should contain an evaluation of the significance of losses to the populations of “important” species, including a determination of whether these losses will constitute an adverse impact that should be mitigated or avoided. This section may include a summary of staff consultations with the appropriate NPDES administrative agencies having responsibilities under the FWPCA. Any studies or environmental investigations performed by these agencies that address intake system impacts should be described or referenced. If any threatened or endangered species will be potentially affected by the operation of the cooling water intake system, a Section 7 consultation process should be initiated with the appropriate Federal agency (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or National Marine Fisheries Service) must be arranged. The EIS should contain a summary of the results of such consultations if they occur. If the reviewer verifies that sufficient information has been provided
