Content:
ntrol or minimization that are specific to the proposed transmission system (from the ER). ` the water bodies and wetlands crossed or spanned that are expected to have tower foundations located within them (from the ER) ` the location and areal limits of construction activities having impacts on aquatic environs (from the ER and ESRP 4.2) ` a description of the magnitude and schedule of construction activities that are expected to impact “important” aquatic species and their habitats (from the ER and ESRP 4.2). Additional background information about the aquatic ecology along the transmission corridors and offsite areas, necessary for this review of impacts on aquatic resources from construction, should be obtained from the reviewer of ESRP 2.4.2 and can be found in the ER, general literature, and from consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies. II. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Acceptance criteria for the review of construction impacts on aquatic ecology in the vicinity of the site and transmission corridors are based on the relevant requirements of the following: ` Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 with respect to natural resources and land or water use in the coastal zone October 1999 4.3.2-5 NUREG-1555 ` Endangered Species Act of 1973 with respect to identifying impacts on threatened or endangered species and critical habitats by means of informal and/or formal consultations with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or National Marine Fisheries Service ` Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA), commonly referred to as the Clean Water Act (CWA), of 1948 with respect to activities associated with the discharge of dredge or fill materials into waters of the United States ` FWPCA Amendments of 1972 with respect to restoration and maintenance of the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of water resources ` Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1958 with respect to consideration of fish and wildlife
