Regional and Local Air Quality Characteristics When analyzing regional and local air quality characteristics, the reviewer should take the following steps: (1) Assess the description of the existing regional air quality for completeness and accuracy. (2) Identify the air pollutants for which there are non-attainment or maintenance areas in the region. (3) Determine the emissions expected from plant construction or operation activities, as appropriate. Work force vehicular emissions should be estimated. (4) Evaluate the impact of emissions from plant construction and operation on existing air quality. If the site is within or near a non-attainment or maintenance area, a conformity analysis may be required (see 40 CFR 51, Subpart W). (5) Determine whether appropriate permits have been obtained. October 1999 2.7-13 NUREG-1555 Early Site Permit Reviews When conducting a meteorological review of an early site permit (ESP) application, the reviewer should take the following steps: (1) Refer to 10 CFR 52, which specifies the requirements and procedures applicable to the Commission’s issuance of early site permits for approval of a site or sites for one or more nuclear power facilities separate from the filing of an application for a construction permit (CP) or combined license (COL). (2) Note that application for an early site permit must include the ` number ` type and thermal power levels of the facilities for which the site may be used ` boundaries of the site ` proposed general location of each facility ` maximum radiological and thermal effluents that each facility will produce ` types of cooling systems that may be associated with each facility ` meteorological characteristics of the proposed site. The scope and level of detail needed for meteorological review of an ESP application are the same as for review of a CP application under 10 CFR 51, except that the focus of the review is on
