must meet the following setback requirements:
a. The setbacks for drip irrigation sites originally permitted or modified from February 1, 1993 to
August 31, 2006 are as follows (all distances in feet):
i. Each private or public water supply source:
100
ii. Surface waters:
100
iii. Groundwater lowering ditches:
25
iv. Surface water diversions (upslope):

Per the Watauga County GIS records, the treatment/storage facility is less than 50 feet away from the
adjacent property (owned by Rufus and Anita Yates). A setback waiver is required for the
treatment/storage structure. Field 1 appears to be close to a property line. Verify that the 50-foot
setback is met.
