In Oregon, what is the 'voluntary buffer zone' concept near Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs)?
AA state-mandated setback from all roads near CAFOs
BAn area adjacent to CAFOs where neighboring property owners may notice odor, noise, or water quality impacts — a material consideration in rural Oregon real estate✓ Correct
CA DEQ-required area that must remain forested
DA federal no-development zone
Explanation
CAFOs can significantly affect neighboring properties through odor, noise, flies, and potential water quality impacts. While Oregon doesn't have mandatory 'voluntary buffer zones,' rural real estate agents should inform buyers about nearby CAFO operations as material information that could affect their enjoyment of the property.
