These buffers do, however, apply to modifications of the treatment and disposal facilities that are for the purpose of increasing the flow that is tributary to the facility. These buffers do apply to any expansion or modification of the surface irrigation areas and apply in instances in which the sale of property would cause any of the buffers now complied with, for the treatment and disposal facilities, to be violated.
