these costs is correct and consistent. (a) See ESRPs 2.2.3 and 2.5.2 for definitions of “region.” October 1999 10.4.2-5 NUREG-1555 External Costs (1) Describe each external cost associated with an environmental impact, reference the corresponding environmental statement section, and describe or reference the method used to develop the cost data. ` For quantified costs, show the relationship (significance) of the cost to the regional value of the impacted parameter. ` Where costs cannot be quantified, estimate the significance of the cost as it relates to regional values. Cost data may be presented in tabular form or referenced to an equivalent table (if provided) for ESRP 10.4.3. (2) Determine the external costs of project construction and operation in consultation with the reviewers of ESRP Chapters 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0. ` Identify and tabulate each unmitigated adverse impact and determine its cost. ` Consider the costs of mitigated adverse impacts and appropriately assign these as internal or external costs. ` Quantify costs in monetary or other appropriate terms whenever possible, and determine the significance of this cost on a regional(a) basis. - If monetary terms can be applied, calculate them for the same time (year) selected for the internal-cost analysis. - If external costs cannot be quantified, present qualitative cost estimates for each such impact. The following typical cost terms (shown for a loss of offsite agricultural production) might be used: Monetary: “Annual loss of $4000.00 to soybean producers. The annual regional value of this crop to producers is $200,000.00.” Quantitative: “Annual loss of 50 hectares of soybean cropland. The regional cropland used for soybean production averages 300 hectares.” Qualitative: “Moderate impact to regional production of soybeans.” NUREG-1555 10.4.2-6 October 1999 (3) For external costs, ensure the following: ` Adverse impacts requiring mitigation or avoidance have been identified. ` The cost
