mation 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. The following data or information should be obtained: ` thermophilic microorganisms - a description of the location of the thermal discharges for the plant’s cooling system (i.e., a cooling pond, lake, canal, small river, large river, or ocean) (from ER or ESRP 3.4.1) - the temperature increase expected for the aquatic environment that is subject to the plant’s thermal discharges (from ER or ESRP 5.3.2.1) - the results of any analyses that have been made for the presence of deleterious thermophilic microorganisms. These include the enteric pathogens, Salmonella sp. and Shigella sp., as well as Pseudomonas aeriginosa and thermophilic fungi. In addition, analyses for the presence of unusually high concentrations of the normally present Legionella sp. (Legionnaires’ disease bacteria) and the free-living amoebae of the genera Naegleria and Acanthoamoeba should be cited (from the ER or the applicant.) - a list of the outbreaks of waterborne diseases in the United States during the previous 10 years in the vicinity of the plant. This list is published regularly by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and can be obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or from (CDC 1996) Geographical, Environmental, & Siting Information System (GEn&SIS). - an evaluation of any available data concerning the occurrence and concentrations in the vicinity of the plant of any of the deleterious thermophilic microorganisms listed above and a determina- tion of whether any of them are present under conditions and in locations that might be harmful to members of the public who come in contact with them. If such an evaluation exists, it may be obtained from the applicant or from the State Public Health Department in the State in which the plant is being constructed. ` noise October 1999
