REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary—Appendix B Secondary—Appendix B I. AREAS OF REVIEW This environmental standard review plan (ESRP) directs the staff’s description of surface-water and groundwater uses that could affect or be affected by the construction or operation of the proposed project, including transmission corridors and offsite facilities. The scope of the review directed by this plan includes (1) consideration of such water uses as domestic, municipal, agricultural, industrial, mining, recreation, navigation, and hydroelectric power, (2) identification of their locations, and (3) quantification of water diversions, consumption, and returns. The review should be limited to present and known future water uses. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from and provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: • ESRP 2.2. Obtain descriptions of the regional land uses for the area surrounding the proposed plant site. • ESRP 2.3.1. Obtain descriptions of the hydrology of the region surrounding the proposed plant site. • ESRP 2.3.1. Provide descriptions of the regional water uses (e.g., the location and nature of water users and water-use areas) for the area surrounding the proposed plant site (for the purpose of NUREG-1555 2.3.2-2 October 1999 assisting that reviewer in determining the level of detail required for the description of the hydrology). • ESRPs 2.3.3, 3.3, 3.3.1, 3.3.2, 4.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.3.1, 4.3.2, 4.4, 5.2, 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 5.3, 5.3.2.1, 5.3.2.2, 5.4, 5.4.1, 5.5, 5.5.1, 5.5.2, 5.8, 5.8.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.6, and 9.4.2. Provide descriptive informa- tion in ESRP 2.3.2 in sufficient detail to support the descriptions and assessments given in these ESRPs. Data and Information Needs The type 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 on existing and
