REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s review and evaluation of the applicant’s proposed radiological environmental monitoring program. The scope of the review directed by this plan includes evaluation of the adequacy of the proposed program to characterize the radiological environment of the biosphere in the vicinity of the site, to provide data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the site environs, and to provide baseline data on surveillance of principal pathways of exposure to the public. If elements of the monitoring program are determined to be inadequate, staff evaluations of potential supplemental programs should be presented. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from and provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRPs 2.3.1 and 2.3.2. Obtain input from the reviewers of ESRPs 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 to verify the adequacy of ground and surface-water sampling points. ` ESRP 2.7. Obtain input from the reviewer for ESRP 2.7 to verify that air monitoring and sample points are adequately located. NUREG-1555 6.2-2 October 1999 ` ESRP 3.5. Obtain the radiological effluent points. ` ESRP 5.4.1. Obtain the principal radiological exposure pathways. ` ESRP 6.7. Provide a summary of additions, modifications, or deletions to the proposed radiological environmental monitoring program. 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 radiological impacts of the radioactive effluents from the plant. The following data or information should be obtained: ` a map or aerial photograph of the site vicinity with proposed monitoring and sampling locations clearly identified and keyed to indicate the medium sampled at
