osed project’s use of the environment will preclude any options for other future use of the environment. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from or provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: NUREG-1555 10.3-2 October 1999 ` ESRP 4.1 through 4.6. Obtain input on those other uses of the environment that will be precluded by plant construction. ` ESRPs 5.1 through 5.10. Obtain input on those other uses of the environment that will be precluded by plant operation. ` ESRP 10.1. Obtain the list of unavoidable adverse environmental impacts. ` ESRP 10.2. Obtain the list of irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources. Data and Information Needs The kinds of data and information needed will be the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts of plant construction and operation and the irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources that represent short-term and long-term use of the human environment. The following data or information should be obtained: ` adverse impacts of construction and operation (from ESRP 10.1) ` irreversible and irretrievable commitment of resources (from ESRP 10.2). II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptance criteria for the evaluation of short term uses and long term productivity are based on the relevant requirements of the following: ` 10 CFR 51.45(b)(4) and 10 CFR 51, Appendix A, with respect to consideration of the relationship between short-term uses and long-term productivity of the human environment. Regulatory positions and specific criteria necessary to meet the regulations identified above are as follows: ` Regulatory Guide 4.2, Rev. 2, Preparation of Environmental Reports for Nuclear Power Stations (NRC 1976), with respect to the content and presentation of material in an applicant’s environmental report.
