CITRUS GROWER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES CHECKLIST <br /> The following check-list is designed to assist Indian River Area Citrus Growers in identifying the most appropriate Best <br /> Management Practices (BMPs) or group of strategies for their specific site and growing conditions. Th:-esults should be kept on <br /> file and reviewed annually to determine if progress is being made in reducing off-site discharges of sediment. pesticides. nutrients. <br /> and aquatic plants. Providing the information requested below for the Introduction section is not mandatonv. but listing :his <br /> voluntary information iNUI help the grove manager select BN1Ps that are appropriate for their specific aro,,--- configuration. <br /> I. INTRODUCTION: <br /> A. Name and Location: <br /> 1. Grove Name: <br /> 2. Legal Description: (Tsp., Sec. Range) <br /> 3. Size (acres) and Varieties including rootstock: <br /> 4. Number of trees per acre- <br /> 5. Physical Structures including wells: <br /> a. Location and capacity of Reservoirs: <br /> b. Discharge locations: <br /> c. Control Structures: <br /> B. Specific Information: <br /> 1. Maps including soil type: (please attach) <br /> a. GPS maps preferred <br /> b. Other map types such as aerial maps or site maps showing Grove features <br /> 2. Characteristics of known soils: <br /> a. Predominant soil type (series)- <br /> b. Texture, & Percent Organic Matter: <br /> (% sand, silt, clay) <br /> 3. Irrigation and Drainage information <br /> a. Single row beds with swales: (width and type) <br /> b. Double row beds: (width and type) <br /> c. Other bed configuration: <br /> d. Microjet, Drip, Overhead, or flood irrigation: <br /> e. Dimensions of drainage ditches and amount of water contained: <br /> f. Pump capacity outflow/intake: <br /> *Note: A ves answer for any survey question indicates that the grove being sun-eyed is in compliance with the <br /> referenced BNIPs. A no answer indicates that the referenced BI IPs would improve the environmental performance of the <br /> grove. but implementation of all BNIPs so referenced is not required. Review BNIPs listed for questions that %vere <br /> answered "no". Select specific BMPs from those indicated by a no answer that are appropriate for application to the <br /> grove unit sun-eved. These BMPs to be implemented should be listed in the "BI\Ps... that grove management agrees to <br /> implement." section. Use the comment section at the end of this document (Section VII) to explain why certain BNIPs <br /> from questions that were answered"no" will not be implemented. The comment section can also be used to elaborate on <br /> any items or questions that may be unclear or ambiguous, or to explain particular grove conditions. Comments should be <br /> referenced to the specific section and question number of the survey. N/A may be used if the au:scion or section does not <br /> apply to that particular grove. <br /> 1 <br />
