NAC445A.047. Factors considered in issuance or denial of permit.

     1. In determining whether to issue a permit, the Director will consider, but his or her consideration will not be limited to, the following factors:

     (a) The location and density of existing piers and other structures;

     (b) The effect of granting the permit upon the stability of the shoreline;

     (c) The overall environmental integrity and recreational quality of the area in which the proposed structure or activity is to be located, including factors such as noise, visual esthetics and recreational potential;

     (d) The private benefit to be obtained versus any loss of public benefit; and

     (e) The economic and social effect upon the area.

     2. In determining whether to deny a permit on the basis that the quality of the water of Lake Tahoe would be impaired by the structure or activity, the Department will consider any anticipated change in the clarity, temperature, color, taste and odor of the water and will compare those characteristics with federal and state water quality standards.
