changed in ESRP Chapters 4.0 and 5.0 with land use within the region as described in ESRP 2.2.3. (2) Identify the following characteristics of the transmission corridors, access corridors, and offsite areas: ` waterways, highways, roads, railroads, airports, and airplane flight paths ` natural gas, electrical transmission lines, communication lines, and other utilities ` golf courses and picnic, swimming, fishing, boating, and other recreational areas ` residential areas and industrial or commercial facilities ` Federal, State, regional, local, and Native American tribal land-use plans ` special land-use classifications. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The reviewer should ensure that the land-use information is adequate as a basis for assessing the effects of construction and operation of transmission lines, access corridors, and offsite areas. The reviewer should use the site visit and consultation with appropriate Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies to assess the accuracy of the land-use designations. The depth and extent of the input to the EIS should be governed by the land-use characteristics of the transmission corridors and offsite areas in which the plant is to be located and the potential land-use impacts of plant construction and operation. The information should be presented in a concise form. Data should be given in tables showing land use in the transmission corridors, access corridors, and offsite areas. The following information should be included: ` a brief description of the characteristics of the transmission corridors, access corridors, and offsite areas ` a tabulation of the areas dedicated to each land-use category in the transmission corridors, access corridors, and offsite areas. Information on transmission corridors should be subdivided into corridor segments having predominantly similar land uses. The tabulations may be supplemented by land-use maps as necessary for clarity. The tabulations required for
