Points | Auditor Comment | Corrective Action Response | Corrective Action Comment |
| 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 | 10 | Yes | 0 | Yes. There was evidence of animal tracks inside of Block 4. Note: Block was recently planted the first week of December. | We have fully completed the corrective action(s) | 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. |
| 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.)? | 15 | No | 0 | No. Growing area is no fenced. | We will partially complete or not complete corrective action(s) | Fencing is not a practical solution. We rely on vigilance through risk assessments to address the risk of wild animal intrusion. |
| Food Security | 09.03 | Are entrances to ranch-level roads restricted by gates, chains, guard stations, etc.? | 5 | No | 0 | No. It was observed ranch did not have a gate at the entrance. | We will partially complete or not complete corrective action(s) | 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. |
| Irrigation/Water Use | 06.05c | Do animals (domestic, livestock, or wild) have access to the water source? | 7 | Yes | 0 | Yes. Animals do have access to the canal water. | We will partially complete or not complete corrective action(s) | 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. |
