REVIEW PROCEDURES Because limited portions of land-use impacts are covered in ESRP 4.1.3, “Historic/Archaeological Sites”; ESRP 4.3.1, “Terrestrial Ecosystems”; and ESRP 4.4, “Socioeconomic Impacts”; this ESRP will be NUREG-1555 4.1.1-6 October 1999 limited to those direct physical changes and restrictions on land use at the site and vicinity due to plant construction. For each of these, the impact analysis should include consideration of the potential changes in land use as a result of the siting decision and the direct physical impacts on the site and vicinity as a result of construction activities. The reviewer should direct the analysis toward conclusions with respect to the following: ` long-term restrictions of land use resulting from the licensing action and long-term physical changes in land use of the site and vicinity ` short-term physical changes in land use of the site and vicinity and the applicant’s plans for mitigation of adverse impacts ` construction impacts on the geologic environment. The reviewer should take the following steps: (1) Evaluating Long-Term Restrictions of Land Use Resulting from the Licensing Action and Long- Term Physical Changes in Land Use of the Site and Vicinity: (a) Identify changes in land use that will occur as a consequence of the licensing action. Consider land-use changes in the context of the amount and quality of land affected after proposed measures, if any, have been implemented. ` Review restrictions on the use of farm land, recreational areas, housing areas, and other similar areas. ` Consider any restrictions or modifications of lands classified as floodplain, wetlands, or coastal zone.
