these alterations (e.g., increased temperature, salinity, erosion, sedimentation) with pre-construction conditions to assess the magnitude of the impact. (b) Evaluate the impacts for individual water users and for water-use areas. (c) Identify and describe proposed construction or construction activities located on a floodplain or wetland as follows: ` Consult with appropriate Federal, State, regional, local, and Native American tribal agencies to determine the extent to which any such activities will conform with applicable floodplain and wetland standards. ` Ensure that the analysis has considered short-term effects (e.g., floodplain alterations resulting from temporary construction structures or activities) as well as the long-term alteration caused by the completed plant. ` Consult with the reviewer for ESRP 4.2.1 and the reviewers for ESRP 9.4.1 to analyze alternatives to any proposed activity located in the floodplain. The intent of this instruction is to ensure that alternatives to avoid adverse effects and incompatible development in a floodplain or wetland have been considered. (d) Identify construction and construction activities that will alter or restrict shoreline access (e.g., beach closure) and surface oriented water uses (e.g., commercial and recreational fishing, navigation) including the following: ` Describe the effects of construction to water users. ` If potential adverse impacts are predicted, identify alternative design, construction practices, or procedures that could mitigate or avoid the impacts. (3) Analyze water quality: (a) Identify hydrologic alterations and construction activities affecting water quality and describe their effects on water users or water-use areas. October 1999 4.2.2-7 NUREG-1555 (b) Describe the time duration or time periods when the impact will be experienced, and the number of water users or extent of water-use areas affected. (When necessary, consult with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native
