for surface water supply watersheds. Both of these documents are <br /> in the permanent agenda file in the Clerk's office. <br /> Dan Eddelman indicated that the 10 foot buffer and the <br /> possibility of building water management structures seem to be the <br /> major issues for the farmers. He asked for clarification from <br /> those in disagreement with these regulations as to what exactly <br /> they see as the problem. <br /> Ben Lloyd indicated that these regulations would require <br /> building a fence around the stream and pumping the water to the <br /> cows. He believes this is an impractical solution. <br /> Commissioner Willhoit asked if a fence would be required only <br /> in the water quality critical area of WS-II . David Stancil <br /> indicated that there are two provisions and that neither of the two <br /> provisions would by themselves require fence around the streams. <br /> They both apply in critical areas of the watershed in WS-2 and WS- <br /> 3 categories. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked if there would be circumstances <br /> which would require a landowner to fence off a stream and pump <br /> water out to another area. The staff will research this question <br /> and forward a written reply to the Board of Commissioners. <br /> Commissioner Willhoit also indicated that we need to point <br /> out to the State that if the farmers are to bear any of this burden <br /> it would put them at an economic disadvantage with the farmers in <br /> areas which are not required to follow these practices. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by <br /> Commissioner Halkiotis, to hold the Public Hearing open to receive <br /> written comment until September 13th. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by <br /> Commissioner Gordon, to refer this item to the Planning Board for <br /> a recommendation to be returned to the Board of Commissioners no <br /> sooner than October 7th. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 2.
