intake system. The scope of the review directed by this plan should include consideration of the spatial and temporal distribution of the surface-water body flow field and the physical effects of the flow field induced by intake system operation. The review should be in sufficient detail to describe intake hydrodynamics to the extent necessary for subsequent assessment of predicted intake system impacts to aquatic biota. In addition, the reviewer should assess potential intake system physical impacts (e.g., bottom scouring, induced turbidity, silt buildup) and evaluate how these impacts should be treated in the licensing process. When necessary, the reviewer should identify and evaluate alternative designs, practices, or procedures that would mitigate or avoid predicted adverse impacts. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from and provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRP 2.3.1. Obtain descriptions of the hydrology of the region surrounding the proposed plant site (specifically, the hydrology of the surface water bodies that will be affected by the intake system). NUREG-1555 5.3.1.1-2 October 1999 ` ESRP 2.4.2. Obtain descriptions of the baseline aquatic ecology for the surface water bodies in the area surrounding the proposed plant site that will be affected by the cooling system intake system. ` ESRP 3.1. Obtain descriptions of the layout of the proposed plant (specifically, the layout of the main water bodies, including locations of all intakes and discharges). ` ESRP 3.3.1. Obtain descriptions of the expected water use of the proposed plant. ` ESRPs 3.4.1 and 3.4.2. Obtain descriptions of the cooling system of the proposed plant. ` ESRP 5.2.2. Provide input related to potential water-use restrictions caused by operation of the intake system. ` ESRP 5.3.1.2. Obtain input regarding the potential for impacts of the induced hydrodynamic flow field to aquatic biota (which will be used to determine the
