Content:
grams is discussed in the following paragraph: Environmental monitoring is needed to establish baseline or reference environmental conditions preceding plant construction and operation to identify and evaluate potential changes to the environment during plant construction and operation, and to evaluate the effects of programs aimed at eliminating or mitigating adverse impacts during construction or operation. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES The reviewer’s analysis should consist of identification and tabulation of the applicant’s existing and proposed monitoring programs during site preparation and construction during the preoperational and operational stages, as appropriate. When considering this analysis, the reviewer should use the following steps: (1) Prepare a table listing the applicant’s existing or proposed monitoring programs by general subject. Provide sufficient program details (e.g., instrumentation, location, sampling frequency) to allow adequate program description. (2) Prepare a summary table describing the combined monitoring program suitable for inclusion in the environmental impact statement (EIS). Identify those program elements that have been defined in response to requirements of other agencies, e.g., NPDES permit conditions. (3) If final program details for preoperational- and operational monitoring programs are not available at the time of the environmental review, tabulate the general program requirements and specify the date or time period when final program details should be available. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The reviewer for ESRP 6.7 should summarize the applicant’s existing and proposed environmental monitoring programs, as appropriate for the site preparation and construction, preoperational, and operational stages. The summary should be provided in one or more EIS sections (as follows), depending on the nature of the application under consideration: Site Preparation, Construction, and Refurbishment Monitoring This section should describe
