The CAFO bill will be brought out of full committee late Thursday afternoon,
or evening.\

Tourism destination is defined thusly:
  3 11    NEW SUBSECTION.  46C.  "Tourism destination" means a
  3 12 portion of real estate having unique archaeological, cultural,
  3 13 historical, recreational, scenic, or scientific significance,
  3 14 and that tends to attract the visiting public.

Trout streams would be protected in one of the following two definitions:

[Because I cannot capture and send strikethroughs, I substitute red color
for language stricken from current code to be replaced by underlined
language, language neither red nor underlined is current code language.]

A confinement feeding operation shall not be constructed closer than:

 24 34    (1)  Five hundred feet away from For a water source other
 24 35 than a major water source, one thousand three hundred twenty
 25  1 feet.
 25  2    (2)  One thousand feet away from For a major water source
 25  3 two thousand six hundred forty feet.
 25  4    (3)  Two thousand five hundred feet away from For a
 25  5 designated wetland, two thousand six hundred forty feet.


So stream separations are almost tripled, and designated wetlands are
increased by 140 feet.

We all have plenty of study to do with this bill, as no draft was available
until a few days ago, significantly different than this one.
