REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s description of the nonradioactive waste systems and the chemical and biocidal characteristics of each nonradioactive waste stream dis- charged from the plant. The scope of the review directed by this plan includes the identification and quantification of each chemical or biocide added to the receiving water by any discharge stream, as well as substances added by corrosion and erosion, and includes a comparison of the discharged quantities and concentrations with applicable effluent limitations and standards. Naturally occurring substances changed in form or concentrated by plant operations should also be described. The information devel- oped in this review will be used in the staff’s subsequent evaluation of environmental impacts and com- pliance with applicable water-quality standards. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from and provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRP 2.3.3. Obtain descriptions of the baseline water quality of the water supplies to the proposed plant. ` ESRP 3.3.1 and 3.3.2. Obtain expected plant water use (i.e., water supplies, consumption, and treat- ment with process chemicals). NUREG-1555 3.6.1-2 October 1999 ` ESRP 3.4.1. Obtain descriptions of the cooling system of the proposed plant (including the concen- tration factor on a seasonal basis for evaporative cooling systems). ` ESRP 5.3.2. Provide a description of waste streams entering the cooling system discharge. ` ESRPs 3.6.3, 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 6.5.1, 6.5.2, and 6.6. Provide descriptive detail to support the descriptions and assessments in these ESRPs. Data and Information Needs The type of data and information needed will be affected by site- and station-specific factors, and the degree of detail should be modified according to the anticipated magnitude of the potential
