d information needed will be affected by site- and station-specific factors, and the degree of detail should be modified according to the anticipated magnitude of the potential impacts on existing and known future water uses during the period of project operation. The following data or information should be obtained: ` maps (including digital databases such as a Geographic Information System [GIS]) showing the relationship of the site to the major hydrological systems (from the environmental report [ER] and the general literature) ` maps showing the relationship of the site to surface-water bodies that could affect or be affected by plant water use (from the ER and the general literature) ` maps (and cross sections where feasible) showing those portions of groundwater aquifer systems that could be affected by plant withdrawals and/or discharges (from the ER and the general literature) ` quantitative description of present and known future groundwater withdrawals on the site and for distances great enough to cover aquifers that may affect or be adversely affected by the plant. The following should be included for each withdrawal or discharge: - location and depth of well with respect to the site (from the ER, the site visit, peer-reviewed technical literature, and consultation with State and local agencies) - identification of aquifers (from the ER, peer-reviewed technical literature, and consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies) - the average monthly withdrawal rates by use category (from the ER, the site visit, peer-reviewed technical literature, and consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies) - identification of any aquifers designated by EPA as sole source aquifers. ` quantitative description of present and known future surface-water uses (withdrawals, consumptions, and returns) that are within the hydrological system in which the site is located and that
