ant (specifically, the layout with respect to the main water bodies, including locations of all intakes and discharges). • ESRPs 3.3.1 and 3.3.2. Obtain descriptions of the expected water use of the proposed plant. • ESRPs 3.4.1 and 3.4.2. Obtain descriptions of the cooling system of the proposed plant. • ESRP 5.2.1. Obtain descriptions of the operational hydrologic alterations that will support the descriptions of the discharge thermal plumes. • ESRP 5.3.1.1. Obtain descriptions of the physical impacts to surface-water bodies caused by the intake system of the proposed plant (if the same water bodies are used for discharge to the cooling system). • ESRP 5.3.2.2. Obtain input regarding the potential for impacts of the thermal discharges on aquatic biota (which will be used to determine the appropriate extent of the thermal discharge description required for the environmental impact statement [EIS]). • ESRPs 5.3.1.1 and 5.3.2.2. Provide results of the staff’s thermal plume analyses. • ESRPs 5.4 and 5.5. Provide predicted dilution factors at specified locations. ` ESRP 5.8.1. Provide a summary of the physical impacts related to the presence and operation of the discharge system. • ESRP 5.10. Provide a list of recommended measures and controls to limit or minimize adverse discharge system physical impacts. • ESRP 6.1. Provide a discussion of any required preoperational baseline monitoring programs necessary to assess physical impacts of discharge system operation. ` ESRPs 6.3 and 6.6. Provide input regarding the need for and possible limitation on monitoring activities as a result of the presence or operation of the cooling discharge system. October 1999 5.3.2.1-3 NUREG-1555 • ESRP 9.4.2. Provide a list of adverse physical impacts of discharge system operation that could be mitigated or avoided through alternative system design or operational practices and procedures, and assist in determining appropriate alternatives. • ESRP 10.1. Provide a
