andards, guides, regulations, or legislation or to Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal land-use plans and zoning ordinances, consulting with these sources and ensuring consistency with them where required or desirable. October 1999 4.1.2-7 NUREG-1555 ` Refer to the Federal sources listed in Table 4.1.2-1 (and comparable State sources applicable to the applicant’s proposed transmission line corridors and offsite areas) for particular types of land. ` If there are no relevant standards, guides, regulations, legislation, or land-use plans, analyze the severity of the impact without them. (c) Analyze the restrictions on use of land such as farm land or forests in the context of the amount and quality of the land generally available in the region as compared with that changed due to the corridors and offsite areas, recognizing that the use of some of the land of the corridors may not be changed from its current use. Modification of use for the amount of land usually used for transmission corridors and offsite areas generally has minor effects, if the land is not unique or otherwise distinguished. (d) If the land to be changed due to the corridors and offsite areas (1) meets the statutory definition of prime or unique, or (2) has a relative value rating placing it within the top half in terms of agricultural production in the local government jurisdiction, or (3) has a land capability classification of I or II, (see “Land Capability Classifications” under “Review Procedures” in ESRP 4.1.1), assess the productivity of the land to determine the need for mitigation or avoidance of any predicted impact. (2) Analyzing the Short Term Changes in Land Use of the Corridors and Offsite Areas and the Applicant’s Plans for Mitigation of Adverse Impacts: (a) Consider mitigation measures for adverse impacts. Matters to be reviewed include revegetation, landscaping, cleanup and disposal of debris, erosion control, land-management practices,
