§ 260.243. Buffer zone required, commercial processing facility, how determined.

The size of the buffer zone shall be determined by the department but shall extend at least fifty feet from a facility located in a nonresidential area in a city not within a county or at least three hundred feet from a facility located elsewhere. The department shall consider the proximity of schools, businesses and houses, the prevailing winds and other factors which it deems relevant when establishing the buffer zone. Any facility located within a city not within a county shall be required to strictly adhere to the terms, conditions and provisions of its permit.
