region. Some items of review may be done on a generic basis. For design certification, the design groundwater level is specified in the site parameter envelope. The review verifies that the specified groundwater level is representative of credible, bounding characteristics and consistent with the acceptance criteria given in subsection II of this SRP section. For applications referencing a certified design, site-specific groundwater data must be reviewed against the groundwater level specified in the site parameter envelope of the design certification application. Requirements and procedures governing issuance of early site permits for approval of proposed sites for nuclear power facilities are specified in 10 CFR Part 52. Information required for such a permit includes a description of the site's characteristics. For this type of permit, the groundwater data are reviewed as outlined above.24 For standard design certification reviews under 10 CFR Part 52, the procedures above should be followed, as modified by the procedures in SRP Section 14.3 (proposed), to verify that the design set forth in the standard safety analysis report, including inspections, tests, analysis, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC), site interface requirements and combined license action items, meet the acceptance criteria given in subsection II. SRP Section 14.3 (proposed) contains procedures for the review of certified design material (CDM) for the standard design, including the site parameters, interface criteria, and ITAAC.25 IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS For construction permit (CP) reviews, the findings will summarize the applicant's and staff's estimates of groundwater levels associated with safety-related structures and, where applicable, groundwater flow directions, gradients, velocities, effects of potential future use on these DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 2.4.12-8 parameters, and applicability and reliability of dewatering systems. If the design bases estimates are comparable, staff
