NAC445B.107. “Nearby” defined.

“Nearby” means, as used in NAC 445B.064 and 445B.083, with respect to a specific structure or terrain feature:

     1. For the purpose of using the equations set forth in paragraph (b) of subsection 1 of NAC 445B.083, that distance up to five times the lesser of the height or the width dimension of a structure, but not greater than one-half mile; and

     2. For the purpose of conducting demonstrations under paragraph (c) of subsection 1 of NAC 445B.083, not greater than one-half mile, except that the portion of a terrain feature may be considered to be nearby which falls within a distance of up to 10 times the maximum height of the feature, not to exceed 2 miles if the feature achieves a height one-half mile from the stack that is at least 40 percent of the good engineering practice stack height determined by using the equation set forth in subparagraph (2) of paragraph (b) of subsection 1 of NAC 445B.083 or 85 feet, whichever is greater, as measured from the ground-level elevation at the base of the stack. The height of the structure or terrain feature is measured from the ground-level elevation at the base of the stack.
