NAC445A.395. Contents of application: Assessment of area of review.

     1. An assessment of the area of review must include:

     (a) Hydrogeological and lithological information which defines the subsurface conditions of the site beneath and adjacent to all point sources to a minimum depth of 100 feet.

     (b) A geological map covering the area within a 1-mile radius of the process components.

     (c) A topographic map which identifies:

          (1) All known surface waterways, streams, springs and seeps within a 1-mile radius of the facility;

          (2) All existing habitable buildings within a 1-mile radius of the facility;

          (3) The boundaries and area of the upgradient watershed and the degree to which the 100-year, 24-hour storm event will affect the process components; and

          (4) All wells constructed for supplies of drinking water within 5 miles downgradient of the site identified in the records of the Division of Water Resources of the Department or known to the applicant.

     2. The Department may require that a greater or lesser area of review be prescribed in an application for a permit based upon:

     (a) The ability of the geologic formation at the site of the facility to inhibit contaminant migration;

     (b) The size of the human population in the area;

     (c) The depth from the surface to all groundwater;

     (d) The distance to all surrounding bodies of surface water; and

     (e) The quality, uses and potential uses of the ground and surface water within the area of review.
