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.
