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

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.

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. *

Fertilizer/Crop Nutrition
05.07a
Are the grower's inorganic fertilizer records available for review including application records?
Yes
10
No
0
Records should be legible and at least detail date of application, type of fertilizer, amount, method of application (drip, bulk, etc.), and operator name. There should be sufficient identification information in the records that would make it possible to trace an application back to the site if needed.
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
06.05h
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.
