REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s assessment of direct impacts to land use resulting from operation and maintenance of the transmission corridors, access corridors, and offsite areas. The scope of the review directed by this plan should be limited to consideration of these corridors and areas in sufficient detail to form a basis for assessing the impacts of operation and maintenance. Where necessary, the reviewer should consider alternative designs or practices that would mitigate adverse environmental impacts. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from and provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRPs 2.2.2, 2.4.1, 2.6, 3.7, and 4.1.2. Obtain information about the following topics: land-use description of transmission corridors, access corridors, and other offsite areas; principal terrestrial ecological features of these areas; potential geologic environmental input; design characteristics of the proposed transmission system; and land-use impacts of transmission line construction. ` ESRP 5.10. Provide a list of the measures and controls to limit adverse land-use impacts that are to be recommended for consideration in the licensing process. NUREG-1555 5.1.2-2 October 1999 ` ESRP 9.4.3. Provide a list of adverse land-use impacts that could be avoided or mitigated through alternative transmission system operational or maintenance procedures, and assist in determining appropriate alternatives. ` ESRP 10.1. Provide a summary of the unavoidable adverse land-use impacts that are predicted to occur as a result of transmission system operation. ` ESRP 10.3. Provide land-use information for the transmission corridors and offsite areas that is related to short-term uses and long-term productivity of the environment. Data and Information Needs The type of data and information required will be
