Policy Text:

To ensure that the use of land for livestock grazing, pasturing, farm animal yard or
an outdoor confinement area for existing or new livestock operations ceases to be
or never becomes a significant drinking water threat, where these activities are, or
would be, a significant drinking water threat, the County shall develop and
implement an education and outreach program targeted to farms with livestock
grazing, pasturing, farm animal yards or outdoor confinement areas within
vulnerable areas to ensure that those individuals engaged in the activity are
educated in methods to reduce the risk to drinking water sources.

Monitoring Text:

NC-CW-1.9: The County shall provide a report to the Source Protection Authority, by February
1st of each year, summarizing the actions taken to implement the Source
Protection Plan Policies, where specifically required by the policies.

Where the County is required to implement education and outreach programs as
the primary means of managing the risk associated with significant drinking water
threats, the County shall provide a report to the Source Protection Authority
indicating, at minimum, the properties where these programs were implemented
and additional details on how the significant drinking water threat was managed
and/or ceased to be significant.
