edicated public lands or housing areas, or (3) cause more than a small change to land meeting the statutory definition of prime or unique, having a relative value rating placing it within the top half in terms of agricultural production in the local government jurisdiction, or having a land capability classification of I or II (see “Review Procedures” in ESRP 4.1.1); the expected impacts of construction of this corridor warrants consideration of an alternative corridor to avoid the impacts. This finding should be reported together with supporting technical information concerning the selection of alternative routes. The review performed under this ESRP should also achieve the following objectives: (1) public disclosure of major direct land-use consequences of the proposed construction project, (2) presentation of the basis of staff analysis of the project, and (3) presentation of staff conclusions and conditions regarding land use. Public disclosures may be accomplished by presenting a brief description of the proposed construction activities within transmission lines and access corridors and other offsite areas and a discussion of the land-use changes resulting from these activities. This section should be understandable to a nontechnical reader. Extensive descriptive material may be incorporated by reference and need not be duplicated in the EIS. The staff’s analysis may be presented in a narrative summary by highlighting important aspects of the impacts resulting from potential land-use changes. The discussion should include identification of important effects and mitigating actions. The relative importance of impacts is conveyed to the reader through the degree of emphasis chosen. Minor issues should receive minor treatment. Important or disputed issues should be discussed in detail. The safety evaluation reviewer for geology should provide any necessary input to the EIS with regard to the impact of construction on the geologic environment. NUREG-1555
