If No, go to 4.02 | 10 | Yes | 0 | Yes. There is an intensive livestock adjacent to the Hunt Ranch. Note: Livestock was not observed at the time of the audit. Auditee stated livestock is there as a hold area for cattle. | We have fully completed the corrective action(s) | No cattle present at this time, but may be present as a holding area during winter months for short periods of time. Holding area or CAFO has a minimum of a 400 feet buffer west of Hunt Ranch.
