REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s description and evaluation of the applicant’s preapplication, site preparation and construction, preoperational, and operational monitoring programs for terrestrial ecology and land use in sufficient detail to lead to decisions on site acceptability and, ultimately, plant construction and operational procedures. Monitoring programs should cover elements of the ecosystem for which a causal relationship between station construction and/or operation and adverse change is established or strongly suspected. The scope of the review directed by this plan includes evaluations of standardization, adequacy, and accuracy of data collection and analytical methods used in the terrestrial monitoring programs. If elements of the monitoring program are determined to be inadequate, staff evaluation of potential supplemental programs should be presented. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from or provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRP 2.4.1. Obtain appropriate information on the principal terrestrial ecological features of the site and vicinity. NUREG-1555 6.5.1-2 October 1999 ` ESRP 3.1. Obtain information about the power plant’s external appearance and layout from the reviewer of ESRP 3.1 in enough detail to support an analysis of the applicant’s terrestrial ecology monitoring program. ` ESRP 3.4.1. Obtain a description of the cooling system and its operational modes from the reviewer of ESRP 3.4.1 in enough detail to support an analysis of the applicant’s terrestrial ecology monitoring program. ` ESRP 3.6. Obtain a description of the nonradioactive waste systems in enough detail to support an analysis of the applicant’s terrestrial ecology monitoring program. ` ESRP 3.7. Obtain a description of the power-transmission system in enough detail to support
