es to questions to the applicant ` consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies. Use sources of data, such as river basin planning organizations, and State and Federal agencies, such as the EPA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Geological Survey, if additional information or verification is deemed necessary.(a) NUREG-1555 2.3.3-6 October 1999 (5) Ensure that ` data are sufficient to provide quantitative information on the physical, chemical, and biological water-quality characteristics potentially affecting or affected by plant construction or operation ` the water-quality descriptions are sufficient, with respect to relevancy, completeness, reliability, and accuracy for input to the impact assessments of other sections ` Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies appropriate to the objectives of this environmental review have been consulted. (6) When evaluating the adequacy of this material, ` consult the applicable standards and guides for this environmental review and use the site visit and/or consultations to permitting agencies to evaluate the completeness of the water-quality descriptions ` evaluate, when necessary, the collection of additional data, the verification of data, and the substantiation of the methodology used to estimate water-quality parameters. (7) Include the appropriate depth and extent of the input to the environmental impact statement (EIS) as governed by the water-quality characteristics that could affect or be affected by plant construction or operation and by the nature and magnitude of the expected impacts. The following information should be included as input to the EIS: ` descriptions of site and vicinity surface-water and groundwater quality that could affect or be affected by plant construction and operation. The description may consist of statistical sum- maries of the water-quality characteristics, including mean, mean low and high,
