aluating the construction activities that can alter erosional, depositional, and sediment transport characteristics and determine the alterations. (a) Consider all construction activities within water bodies in relation to the natural processes occurring before construction. October 1999 4.2.1-7 NUREG-1555 (b) For those areas where alterations in the natural erosional, depositional, and sediment transport processes have been identified, determine the physical effects (e.g., beach erosion, channel shoaling) likely to have impacts on other water users. (4) Be familiar with the provisions of standards, guides, and agreements pertinent to the hydrological aspects of plant construction. (a) Determine compliance and the adequacy of commitments to comply with applicable regulations and guides. (b) Consult with appropriate Federal, State, regional, local, and affected Native American tribal agencies to make this determination. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS Input from the review of this ESRP to the environmental impact statement (EIS) should be directed toward accomplishing the following objectives: (1) public disclosure of hydrologic alterations resulting from the proposed project construction or refurbishment activities and (2) presentation of the basis for the staff’s analysis of the effects of these alterations. The following information should be included in the EIS: ` a description of plant design and construction activities that will result in hydrologic alterations, and a description of these alterations and their effects for each affected water body ` quantities of water diverted or used at the construction site, effluent discharge quantities and physical characteristics, and any resultant hydrologic alterations during various stages of construction, including under storm flow conditions ` magnitudes and time variations of hydrological alterations and a comparison with the natural time variations of the hydrological parameters ` compatibility of proposed construction
