categories defined by the USGS (1997): ` Determine the level of detail used in selecting land-use categories in consultation with the reviewers for construction and operational impacts on land use and socioeconomics and with the reviewer for radiological impacts. ` Provide land-use categories for the entire region. NUREG-1555 2.2.3-4 October 1999 ` Include all land-use categories used by the reviewer of ESRP 2.2.1. (2) Identify the following characteristics of the region: ` major waterways, highways, roads, railroads, airports, and other transportation routes within the region. Of particular interest are those routes that would be used during construction or opera- tion of the proposed project and routes that could be affected by construction or operational activities. ` electric-transmission corridors and other utility rights-of-way (e.g., natural gas line corridors) within the region ` principal agricultural products, crop areas, and average annual yields ` special land-use classifications within the region (e.g., Native American or military reservations, wild and scenic rivers, State and national parks, national forests, designated coastal-zone areas, wildlife refuges, and wilderness areas) ` Federal, State, regional, local, and Native American tribal land-use plans. IV.

The depth and extent of the input to the EIS should be governed by the land-use characteristics of the region in which the station is located and the potential land-use impacts of the
