waste and/or onsite storage facilities. Nonradioactive Waste Management Each nuclear power plant has a nonradioactive waste system to collect, treat, and dispose of the nonradioactive wastes that are byproducts of plant operations. The EPA, in accordance with the Resource DG-4015, Page 11 Conservation and Recovery Act, classifies certain nonradioactive wastes as hazardous, based on characteristics including ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity. State regulators may add wastes to the EPA list of hazardous wastes. To assist the staff in its review, the ER should provide a brief plant-specific description of the major features of the nonradioactive waste storage and disposal management program. The information should include, at a minimum, details about the generation process, the types of waste, and the handling, storage, and disposal of the waste. The ER should also provide information on State permits or any special permits issued to the facility for generation, handling, storage, and disposal of nonradiological waste. This section should discuss any pollution prevention and waste minimization programs being used at the facility. Maintenance, Inspection, and Refueling Activities The ER should provide information regarding any maintenance, inspection, or refueling activities. Power Transmission Systems In the ER, the applicant should list and describe the in-scope transmission lines, including the length of the transmission lines or portions of lines; width of right-of-ways (ROWs); ROW maintenance plans, procedures, or protocols; and pesticides and herbicides used in ROWs, including information on how and when they are released. The ER should also describe the protocol for applying chemicals near streams and wetlands and any procedures in place to protect cultural resources. In addition, the ER should provide a map of all in-scope transmission lines and ROWs. 2.3 Refurbishment Activities This section should describe facility refurbishments performed in
