Severity	Category	Question Number	Question	Desired Answer	Possible Score	Given Answer	Your Score	Recommendation
C	Adjacent Land Use	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	No	10	Yes	0	Examples include chicken coops, dogs, horses, homes with hobby farms, wild pigs etc. Auditor must consider the maturity stage and type of crop involved. For example, pig activity around a ground level berry crop is different from a high level tree crop.
C	Adjacent Land Use	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.)?	Yes	15	No	0	Mitigating measures should include a buffer area of approximately 30 ft. (9.1m) from the edge of the crop which may increase or decrease depending on the risk variables e.g. topography (uphill from the crop or downhill from the crop). Other measures may be used such as vegetative strips, wind breaks, physical barriers, berms, fences, diversion ditches to prevent or control runoff, mitigate particulates, etc. *
C	Adjacent Land Use	04.03	Are untreated animal manure piles, compost, biosolids, or nonsynthetic amendment stored and/or applied on adjacent land? If No, go to 4.04	No	10	Yes	0	Adjacent refers to all parcels of land next to the growing operation or within a distance where the crop in question may be affected by untreated animal manure piles, compost, biosolids, or nonsynthetic amendment stored and/or applied on adjacent land.
C	Crop Protection	07.01	Is there a documented policy and/or procedures for the mixing/loading of crop protection materials?	Yes	5	No	0	Mixing and loading crop protection materials should be done as prescribed by prevailing national/ local standards and guidelines. All agricultural chemical additions, dilutions, etc. should be performed safely and within a distance where land and any water source may not be affected.
C	Crop Protection	07.02	Is there a documented policy and/or procedures for the rinsing and cleaning of crop protection equipment?	Yes	5	No	0	Rinsing and cleaning of all crop protection equipment should be done as prescribed by prevailing national/ local standards and guidelines. Care should be taken so that such activities are performed safely and within a distance where land and water sources may not be affected.
C	Crop Protection	07.13	Have documented policies and/or procedures been developed for the monitoring of crop protection application equipment (e.g. calibration procedures, inspections, replacement)?	Yes	10	No	0	Procedures may include regular calibration, verifications, replacement, and maintenance of the crop protection equipment.
C	Fertilizer/Crop Nutrition	05.02c	Are there Certificate(s) of Analysis (CoA) from the compost supplier(s) that covers pathogen and heavy metal testing (plus any other legally/best practice required testing) and does the grower have relevant letters of guarantee regarding SOP's and logs?	Yes	20	No	0	Certificates of analysis should be available for each lot of compost (containing animal materials) used. Tests should include microbiological/heavy metal analyses. Microbial testing should include Salmonella, E.coli O157:H7 and Fecal Coliforms using approved sampling and testing methods (e.g., AOAC and an accredited laboratory). Please see compliance criteria for further details regarding testing. All local and national legislation should also followed. The grower should have proof that compost suppliers have cross contamination SOP's and temperature/turning logs. *
C	Fertilizer/Crop Nutrition	05.05a	Are nonsynthetic treatments that contain animal products or animal manures applied to the edible portions crops?	No	15	Yes	0	Nonsynthetic treatments that contain animal products or animal manures should not be applied to the edible portions of crops.
C	Fertilizer/Crop Nutrition	05.05c	Are there Certificate(s) of Analysis available from the nonsynthetic crop treatment suppliers that covers pathogen and heavy metal testing (plus any other legally/best practice required testing)?	Yes	20	No	0	Certificates of analysis should be available for each lot of nonsynthetic crop treatment (containing animal materials) used. Test should include microbiological/heavy metal test analysis. Microbial testing should include Salmonella and E.coli O157:H7 using approved sampling and testing methods. e.g. AOAC. and an accredited laboratory. Please see compliance criteria for further details regarding testing. All local and national legislation should also followed. *
C	Fertilizer/Crop Nutrition	05.07b	Are there Certificate(s) of Analysis (COA), letters of guarantee or some other documents from the inorganic fertilizer supplier(s) that specifies the source of all the ingredients including inert materials?	Yes	7	No	0	Certificate(s) of Analysis (COA), letters of guarantee or other formal documentation from the fertilizer manufacturer's or supplier(s) should be current and state any inert or active ingredient substances used as "fillers" (e.g., clay pellets, granular limestone).
C	Irrigation/Water Use	06.03d	Are records kept for periodic inspections and treatment of wells (if performed) available for review?	Yes	7	No	0	"Records" may include calendar books with commentary regarding what was checked, the condition, unusual occurrences, and any action taken. If using a disinfection injection system (e.g. chlorination), there should be monitoring logs completed on at least a daily basis. Any well "shocking" should be recorded. The appropriate support documentation should be available for review.
C	Irrigation/Water Use	06.03g	Do written procedures (SOPs) exist covering proper sampling protocols?	Yes	10	No	0	There should be documented procedures in place detailing how water samples are taken in the field including stating how samples should be identified i.e. clearly naming the location that the sample was taken, the water source and the date (this is important in order to be able to calculate geometric means). Samples should be taken at a point as close to the point of use as possible where water contacts the crop, so as to test both the water source and the water distribution system.
C	Irrigation/Water Use	06.05c	Do animals (domestic, livestock, or wild) have access to the water source?	No	7	Yes	0	Animals (domestic, livestock, or wild) should not have access to the system due to the possibility of contamination occurrences.
C	Irrigation/Water Use	06.05e	Are records kept for periodic visual inspection and disinfection (if occurring) of the water source and available for review?	Yes	7	No	0	"Records" may include calendar books with commentary regarding what was checked, the condition, unusual occurrences, and any action taken. If using a disinfection injection system (e.g. chlorination), there should be monitoring logs completed on at least a daily basis.

C	Employee Hygiene (This applies to on-the-farm staff not the harvesting staff)	08.06g	Is there is a documented and implemented procedure for emptying the catch basin in a hygienic manner and also in a way that prevent product, packaging, equipment and water system contamination?	Yes	5	No	0	If self contained toilets are used, the toilet basins should be emptied, pumped, and cleaned in a manner to avoid contamination to product, packaging, equipment, and growing areas. Equipment used in emptying/pumping must be in good working order. A documented policy should exist and if occurring at the time of the verification, the policy should be followed.
