REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s analysis and evaluation of the social and economic impacts of plant operation on the surrounding region(a) and individual communities that could be affected. The reviewer should identify specific impacts, where they could occur, and predict their relative magnitude. The scope of the review directed by this plan includes the social and economic impacts that result from operation of the plant and from requirements of the operating staff. Categories of impacts resulting from operation of the station include (1) regional labor, (2) tax revenues to local jurisdictions, (3) public facilities and services, (4) social or economic consequences of water-use or land-use impacts, and (5) local planning/political decisionmaking processes. Categories of impacts flowing from the requirements of the operating staff include (1) settlement pattern and housing, (2) education, (3) other public facilities and service, (4) private sector goods and services, (5) local employment and income, (6) tax revenues to local jurisdictions, (7) local planning political decision processes, and (8) social structure and community cohesion. For most situations, e.g., refueling outage activities, most impacts will generally be minor when compared with the corresponding impacts during plant construction. The review should be of sufficient detail to permit the reviewer to predict and assess potential impacts and to consider how these impacts should be treated in the licensing process (i.e., consideration of alternative locations, designs, practices, or procedures that would mitigate predicted adverse impacts).
