mpling stations and monitoring locations (from the ER) October 1999 6.5.1-3 NUREG-1555 ` a list and description of the “important” terrestrial ecological species and habitats that are likely to be affected by plant or transmission line construction or operation (from ESRP 2.4.1) ` a list of monitoring-program elements or parameters, including action or report levels for each element ` the type, frequency, and duration of observations or samples taken at each location, and appropriate rationale and sampling design (from the ER) ` the statistical validity of any existing or proposed sampling program. For quantitative descriptions of samples collected within each area of interest and each time of interest, descriptive statistics should include, unless justifiably omitted, the mean standard deviation, standard error, and confidence interval for the mean. In each case, the sample size should be clearly indicated. If diversity indices are used to describe a collection of terrestrial organisms, the specific diversity indices used should be stated. Also, describe the methods used for observing natural variations of ecological parameters. If these methods involve indicator organisms, the criteria for their selection should be stated. Statistical requirements for the monitoring program should be provided, using, as applicable, the Data Quality Objectives process (EPA 1994) (from the ER). ` sampling equipment used (from the ER) ` type of chemical analyses, if any, for soil and tissue samples (from the ER) ` data analysis and reporting procedures (from the ER) ` documentation of applicant consultations with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, appropriate State agencies (e.g., fish and wildlife agency), and Native American tribal agencies (from the ER and from consultations with appropriate agencies) ` documentation of the environmental monitoring programs in policy directives designating a person or organizational unit responsible for reviewing the program on an ongoing
