or impoundment geometry; location and elevation of impoundment outlets; elevation area capacity curves; summary description of operating rules; maximum, average maximum, average, average minimum, and minimum monthly inflow and outflow rates; temperature distributions (horizontal and vertical); and seasonal variations of density induced currents (from ESRP 2.3.1) - for estuaries and oceans: seasonal variations in the shoreline and bottom geometry due to sediment transport; tidal current patterns (velocities and phases), range, and excursion; nontidal circulation patterns including frequency distributions of current speed, direction, and persistence; NUREG-1555 5.3.2.1-4 October 1999 and temperature and salinity distribution (horizontal and vertical) including temporal variations. For estuaries, maximum, average maximum, average, average minimum, and minimum monthly river discharge and flushing characteristics (from ESRP 2.3.1). ` meteorology, including - onsite meteorological data (from ESRP 2.7) - National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Climatic Data Center meteorological data for the nearest National Weather Service (NWS) station (from ESRP 2.7) - the elevation of instruments measuring wind speeds, wet bulb temperatures, and humidities (from ESRP 2.7). ` discharge structure(s), including - detailed drawings of the discharge structure(s), including relationship of structure(s) to the water surface (normal and minimum) and water body bathymetry (from ESRP 3.4.2) - water flow rates, velocities, and temperatures in the discharge stream(s) as a function of operating conditions (from ESRP 3.4.2). ` applicant’s mathematical models (from the ER), including - theory, assumptions, and basis for applicability - procedures used to estimate model parameters (e.g., diffusion coefficients) - model verification (if any) - the applicant’s predicted temperature distributions, areas for isotherms, dilution rates, and time of passage through plume. `
