isposal: (1) Ensure that the waste minimization plan includes a schedule for implementation, projections of volume reductions to be achieved, and assumptions that are critical to the accomplishment of projected volume reductions. (2) Review the nature and quantities of mixed wastes to be disposed of or that must be stored onsite. (3) Assess what, if any, environmental impacts (both radiological and nonradiological) would result from storage of the mixed wastes. NUREG-1555 5.5.2-4 October 1999 (4) Compare impacts resulting from occupational dose related to the storage of mixed wastes with the occupational dose limit criteria given in 10 CFR 20. (5) Ensure that the applicant has anticipated a method for disposal, treatment, or storage of the mixed wastes. (6) Ensure that a mixed waste minimization plan has been formulated and that it identifies changes that can be made to reduce or eliminate mixed wastes. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS Input from this ESRP review to the environmental impact statement (EIS) should describe in general terms the nature and quantities of mixed waste that will be produced at the plant and the anticipated methods for disposal, treatment, and storage of the mixed waste. Adverse impacts to ecosystems, offsite populations, or workers from radiological and nonradiological exposures resulting from onsite storage of the mixed waste should be described and quantified, along with a brief description or reference to the staff’s analyses that identified the impacts. Mitigating measures may be discussed, and reference should be made to ESRP 5.10 when measures and controls to limit adverse impacts have been assessed. Adverse impacts that cannot be mitigated should be identified, and ESRP 9.4 should be referenced if alternatives to avoid these impacts have been identified. Evaluation of each identified impact should result in one of the following determinations: ` The impact is minor, and mitigation is not required. When all impacts are of this nature, the
