applicants and licensees regarding the NRC staff's plans for using this SRP section. This SRP section will be used by the staff when performing safety evaluations of license applications submitted by applicants pursuant to 10 CFR 50 or 10 CFR 52. Except in those 17 cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the Commission's regulations, the method described herein will be used by the staff in its evaluation of conformance with Commission regulations. The provisions of this SRP section apply to reviews of applications docketed six months or more after the date of issuance of this SRP section.18 Implementation schedules for conformance to parts of the method discussed herein are contained in the referenced regulatory guides and NUREGs. VI. REFERENCES Because of the geographic diversity of plant sites and the large number of hydrologic references, no specific tabulation is given here. In general, maps and charts by the USGS, NOAA, Army Map Service (AMS), and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); water-supply papers of the USGS; River Basin Reports of the Corps of Engineers; and other publications of State, Federal, and other regulatory bodies, describing hydrologic characteristics and water utilization in the DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 2.4.1-6 plant vicinity and region, are referred to on an "as-available" basis. Other SRP sections in the hydrology area (2.4.2 through 2.4.14) contain references that are to be used in evaluating the hydrologic description of the site. 1. 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 2, "Design Bases for Protection Against Natural Phenomena." 2. 10 CFR Part 100, "Reactor Site Criteria." 3.
