d as a result of this environmental review. ` ESRP 9.4.2. Obtain input from the reviewers when an alternative heat dissipation system would involve the use of intake or discharge systems that would be substantially different from the proposed system. October 1999 9.4.1-3 NUREG-1555 ` ESRPs 10.1 through 10.4.3. Provide data and information to the appropriate reviewers to permit the inclusion of any such alternatives in the final evaluation of the proposed action when suggested consideration of an alternative heat dissipation system is determined to be environmentally preferable. ` Interface with the Environmental Project Manager (EPM). Obtain input from the EPM when an alternative heat dissipation system appears to be environmentally preferable and meets regulatory requirements. Data and Information Needs The kinds 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 practicality of adapting the potential alternative to the proposed site. The following data or information should be obtained: (1) proposed heat dissipation system and for each potential alternative as follows: ` land-use requirements (from ESRP 3.1 and the environmental report [ER]) ` water-use requirements (from ESRP 3.3.1 and the ER) ` operating and maintenance experience for similar units (from the ER and the general literature) ` capital, maintenance, and operating costs (from the ER and the general literature) ` effect on generating efficiency (from the ER and the general literature) ` predicted thermal and physical effects, e.g., thermal plume, scouring (from ESRPs 5.3.1.1 and 5.3.2.1 and the ER) ` predicted atmospheric effects, e.g., fogging, icing, drift (from ESRP 5.3.3.1 and the ER) ` predicted operating noise levels (from ESRP 5.8.1 and the general literature) ` predicted aesthetic effect, e.g., visual plumes (from the ER) ` predicted recreational benefits (from the ER) (2) site and vicinity land
