ER UPRATE DECOMMISSIONING Land cover and land use data (various scales and sources) • Site selection • Habitat impacts at the proposed site Habitat impacts from operation and refurbishment Habitat impacts from equipment upgrades or operation at higher power output level Impacts to habitats in and outside operational areas caused by large component removal, material storage, and site remediation (e.g., disposal of contaminated soils, shipping, refurbishment of rail lines, barge unloading facilities, demolition of buildings) Reconnaissance- level data on species and habitats • Site selection • Impacts to species and habitats at the proposed site Impacts to species and habitats from refurbishment and operation Impacts to species and habitats from equipment upgrades or operation at higher power output level Impacts to species and habitats in and outside operational areas caused by large component removal, material storage, and site remediation (e.g., disposal of contaminated soils, shipping, refurbishment of rail lines, barge unloading facilities, demolition of buildings) Previously collected data describing aquatic habitat and species at the proposed site (i.e., studies supporting existing power units or other industrial facilities. Also research or baseline studies for other purposes, including previous or withdrawn COL or other NRC applications). • Previously collected data may be obsolete for purposes such as project impact analysis but may be useful for cumulative impact analysis. • Previous data may be a partial substitute for field surveys at the proposed site if the accuracy or reusability of old data is verified. • Previous data may form a basis for design of field surveys at the proposed site.
