| Is the growing area situated in a higher risk location where contamination could occur from nearby operations or functions (e.g. leach fields, runoff or potential flooding from sewers, toilet systems, industrial facilities, labor camps)? If No, go to 4.05 | "Higher risk" refers to any nearby activities or operations that could pose a threat to the growing area. These might include chemical, microbiological, or physical contamination or pollution. Examples include, but are not limited to runoff or potential flooding from sewers, toilet systems, industrial facilities, labor camps (issues of trash). | |||||||

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. | |||||||
