5.5 to coordinate this evaluation and to avoid duplication of effort with other ESRP Chapter 5.0 reviewers. ` When necessary, consult with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies for assistance in evaluating the identified impacts. ` When adverse impacts have been identified, seek alternative operational procedures to avoid the impact. (4) Consult with the reviewers for ESRP 3.6 to determine the flow rates and chemical composition of plant effluents. Consider potential impacts on water users or water-use areas in terms of the intended usage (e.g., chemical contaminants affecting a municipal water supply, suspended solids affecting industrial use, turbidity affecting recreational use). (5) Determine if operational activities affecting surface-water and groundwater quality will comply with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agency water-quality standards for effluents and receiving water bodies. This evaluation should be made in consultation with the reviewer for ESRP 5.5 to avoid any duplication of effort in the evaluation of water-quality impacts. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The following information should be included in the environmental impact statement (EIS): ` a description of plant operational activities that will cause adverse water-use impacts and a description of these impacts for principal water users and water-use areas ` a comparison of predicted effluent and receiving water quality with applicable effluent limitations and water-quality standards, and conclusions with respect to proposed project compliance with these standards ` the physical impacts of consumptive plant water use on other water users ` the compatibility of proposed plant water use with existing and known water rights and allocations, and the impacts associated with any transfer of water rights for plant water use ` adverse impacts to surface-oriented water users resulting from plant operation ` identification and
