II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The analysis of alternative plant heat dissipation systems is a necessary step in the environmental impact statement (EIS) process. The acceptance criteria for this analysis are based on the relevant requirements of the following: NUREG-1555 9.4.1-4 October 1999 ` 10 CFR 51.71(a) referring to 10 CFR 51.45(a)(3) with respect to the need to discuss alternatives in the environmental analysis ` 10 CFR 51, Appendix A, discussing alternatives to the proposed action ` Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958 ` Marine Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (amended 1995) ` Marine Mammal Protection Act (amended 1994) ` Coastal Wetlands, Planning Protection and Restoration of 1990 ` Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (amended 1992) ` CWA of 1987 ` 40 CFR 122 with respect to NPDES permit conditions specified in the CWA ` Endangered Species Act of 1973 (amended 1988). Regulatory positions and specific criteria necessary to meet the regulations as identified above are as follows: ` Regulatory Guide 4.2, Rev. 2, Preparation of Environmental Reports for Nuclear Power Stations (NRC 1976), with respect to alternative systems designs. ` Memorandum of Understanding Between NRC and the Army Corps of Engineers for the Regulation of Nuclear Power Plants (40 FR 37110, August 25, 1975) with respect to locating structures affecting navigable waters. ` Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal
