Integrating minimum separation distances is the most important consideration when

In this diagram, a new storage/mixing/loading site, surrounded by runoff, is 300 feet from the nearest stream, 300 feet from the well, 500 feet from a residential subdivision. Also shown are livestock barn, old storage area, house, farm shop, machinery storage shop, grain cleaning and storage, winter prevailing wind (NW) and summer prevailing wind (SW).
