(b) For the purpose of this article, “Health Protection Zone” means the area within 3,200 feet of a sensitive receptor. The measurement shall be made from the property line of the receptor unless the receptor building is more than 50 feet set back from the property line, in which case the measurement shall be made from the outline of the building footprint to 3,200 feet in all directions.

Where a university or college is the only sensitive receptor within 3,200 feet of the operator's wellheads or production facilities, the university or college is not a sensitive receptor if the operator demonstrates to the Division's satisfaction that no building with nominal daily occupancy on the university or college campus is located within 3,200 feet of the operator's wellheads or production facilities.

A building is open to the public if visitors are regularly permitted on the premises who are not the owner of the building or a tenant of the building and are not employees, contractors, or service providers of the owner of the building or of a tenant of the building.
