ALERTS & DISCLAIMERS 1) Please be aware that this service is provided for storing the data and does not mean the corrective action comments will be reviewed by PrimusLabs. 2) When stating that a question's corrective action(s) has/have been "fully completed", please note that this must mean that the corrective actions have been completed in full, not partially completed. 3) Please note that when you complete this corrective action form online customers and buyers are able to access some or all of your corrective action responses. 4) Please be aware that customers and buyers are able to stipulate the type and level of corrective action data they wish to see. Many customers/buyers only see partial/no completion of corrective action comments and uploads i.e. they do not see any comments or uploads associated with "fully completed" responses. This means that any "fully completed" must equate to full completion of a corrective action and not a partially completed action.

Severity Level: C -  Adjacent Land Use

Question 04.02 Are, or is there evidence of domestic animals, wild animals, grazing lands (includes homes with hobby farms, and non commercial livestock) in proximity to growing operation? If No, go to 4.03

Answer: Yes

Auditor Notes: Yes. There was evidence of animal tracks inside of Block 4. Note: Block was recently planted the first week of December.

Answer:  We have fully completed the corrective action(s)

Comments: We have SOPs to address animal intrusion within fields. As wild animals are part of the natural environment and cannot be excluded 100%, we rely on repeated risk assessments throughout the cultivation and harvest process to minimize risks from animal intrusion.

Severity Level: C -  Adjacent Land Use

Question 04.02a Have physical measures been put in place to restrain domestic animals, grazing lands, (includes homes with hobby farms, and non commercial livestock) and their waste from entering the growing area (e.g. vegetative strips, wind breaks, physical barriers, berms, fences, diversion ditches.)?

Answer: No

Auditor Notes: No. Growing area is no fenced.

Answer:  We will partially complete or not complete corrective action(s)

Comments: Fencing is not a practical solution. We rely on vigilance through risk assessments to address the risk of wild animal intrusion.

Severity Level: C -  Irrigation/Water Use

Question 06.05c Do animals (domestic, livestock, or wild) have access to the water source?

Answer: Yes

Auditor Notes: Yes. Animals do have access to the canal water.

Answer:  We will partially complete or not complete corrective action(s)

Comments: The water source for this region is the canal system fed by the Colorado river. Canals that convey water are not covered. Covering of canals is not under grower's control.

Severity Level: C -  Food Security

Question 09.03 Are entrances to ranch-level roads restricted by gates, chains, guard stations, etc.?

Answer: No

Auditor Notes: No. It was observed ranch did not have a gate at the entrance.

Answer:  We will partially complete or not complete corrective action(s)

Comments: Currently, there are no plans to fence of gate farms. Gating and fencing are not practical solutions nor do they provide wild animal exclusion 100%. In fact, they may hinder the local ecosystems and prevent the natural balance that helps reduce certain risks.
