ee of detail should be modified according to the magnitude of the impacts predicted for the proposed transmission system and to the practicability of adopting the alternative under consideration. Data or information should be obtained for the following alternatives: October 1999 9.4.3-3 NUREG-1555 (1) Alternative Corridor Routes ` maps or aerial photographs showing alternative transmission corridors from the station site to interconnecting points on the existing high voltage system and identifying corridor characteris- tics (e.g., new lines/towers on existing corridors, widening of existing corridors, new corridors). A map detailing this information should be included in the environmental report (ER). Topo- graphic maps (7½ or 15 min.) may be obtained from the applicant. ` maps or aerial photographs showing existing and known future generating stations and trans- mission networks for the service area or affected region. For existing transmission corridors not proposed as alternatives to the proposed system, reasons why they were not considered (e.g., sys- tem reliability) should be provided (from the ER and through consultation with agencies such as regional power pools). ` location and description of known populations of threatened or endangered species of plants and animals occurring along alternative corridors (through consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies) ` lengths and widths (in km) of rights-of-way for each alternative segment or corridor (from the ER). ` number and approximate location of known historic/archaeological sites within 2 km of the alter- native corridor (from the ER and through consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies) ` State and local laws or regulations that affect right-of-way acquisition, transmission line con- struction and operation, or corridor siting (from consultation with appropriate Federal, State, regional, local, and
