NAC445A.298. Establishment by Director.

     2. In determining the size of a zone of mixing, each application must be reviewed on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration the quality of effluent of wastewater discharged and the nature and condition of the receiving water, including the effects of the effluent or wastewater on the designated or actual beneficial uses of the receiving water and standards for quality of water.
