Re: Sources for Dose Correction Factor

Table A-9 of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109 gives "shore-width" factors for use in calculating external dose from shoreline deposits.  The  values are:

Discharge canal bank        0.1
River shoreline             0.2
Lake shore                  0.3
Nominal ocean site          0.5
Tidal basin                 1.0

A long while ago, I recall seeing a correction factor to use in calculating effective dose equivalent (external) from soil/sediment along shorelines.  I thought it was from NUREG-5512 (Residual Radioactive Contamination from Decommissioning - Technical Basis for Translating Contaminant Levels to Annual TEDE - 1992).  However, I cannot seem to locate these factors in my copy.
 
Any Radsafers familiar with these correction factors? Can you please direct me to the source.
 
Thanks
