logical sites, and socioeconomics. ` ESRP 5.6.1 and 5.6.3. Provide land-use descriptions that are adequate to support the operational impacts assessments of the transmission system and the terrestrial ecosystem on humans. Data and Information Needs The types 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 impacts. The following data or information should be obtained: ` proposed routes for corridors that will be used for construction of transmission lines from the station site to an interconnecting point or points on the existing high-voltage transmission systems (from the environmental report [ER]) ` proposed routes of access corridors to serve the proposed station (from the ER) ` corridor lengths, widths, and areas (from the ER) ` land-use restrictions, if any, contained in any easements (from the ER and consultation with land- resource agencies) ` land use within the corridors using the categories defined by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS 1997). Land-use information should be subdivided into corridor segments having predominantly similar land-use types (from the ER, consultation with applicable Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies, and USGS [1997]). ` identification of offsite areas by land use, size, and location (from ER, site visit, and consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and Native American tribal agencies) October 1999 2.2.2-3 NUREG-1555 ` local and regional land-use plans of State, regional, and local agencies (from consultation with Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies) ` special land-use classifications (e.g., Native American or military reservations, wild and scenic rivers, State and national parks, national forests, designated coastal-zone areas, floodplains, wildlife refuges, and wilderness areas) (from the ER,
