Content:
ic ecosystem from the cooling system discharge can be completed. ` ESRP 5.2.2. Provide information regarding impacts on the aquatic ecosystem from the cooling system discharge so that an evaluation of impacts of operation on plant water use can be completed. ` ESRP 5.3.2.1. Obtain information about physical impacts and thermal plumes in enough detail to determine potential impacts on the aquatic ecosystem. ` ESRP 5.5.1. Provide information regarding impacts on the aquatic ecosystem from the cooling system discharge so that an evaluation of impacts from discharge of nonradioactive effluents can be completed. ` ESRP 5.10. Provide a list of applicant commitments and staff evaluations of measures and controls to limit adverse discharge system aquatic impacts. ` ESRP 6.5.2. Provide a discussion of any preoperational baseline monitoring programs necessary to assess impacts of discharge system operation. ` ESRP 9.4.1. Provide a list of adverse impacts of heat-dissipation systems that could be mitigated through alternative system design, location, or operation, and assist in determining appropriate alternatives. ` ESRP 9.4.2. Provide a list of adverse impacts of circulating-water-system operation that could be mitigated or avoided through alternative system design, location, or operation, and assist in determining appropriate alternatives. ` ESRP 10.1. Provide a summary of the unavoidable adverse impacts on aquatic biota that are predicted to occur as a result of discharge system operation. October 1999 5.3.2.2-3 NUREG-1555 ` ESRP 10.2. Provide a summary of irreversible and irretrievable commitments of aquatic resources that are predicted to occur as a result of discharge system operation. Data and Information Needs The type of data and information needed will be affected by site- and station-specific factors, and the degree of detail should be modified according to the anticipated magnitude of the potential impacts. The following types of data or information should be
