As a general rule, the applicant’s “site boundary” should be accepted as defining the site. 2. “Vicinity”—For small sites (on the order of 2 km2), the vicinity is the area encompassed within a radius of 10 km (6 mi). For larger irregularly shaped sites, the vicinity is a band or belt 10-km (6-mi) wide surrounding the plant site. The intent is to investigate land use in an area in which the site makes up no more than 10% of the area. If a lake or pond is to be created for use by the station, the entire water-body area should be included in the vicinity. The vicinity considered may follow natural or political boundaries.
