Wish I had kept my files when we moved to NZ and I could give you detailed reasons for this calculation but I didn't and now too much time has passed for me to recall the exacts. I just remember "one mile" and I stick by it.
I take it that you had different distances for different power lines though?
Do you remember based on what you made those calculations?
I still have the official Dutch reports and maybe they are in English too (they did that very often for the European Commision)
