The results 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 mandatory, but listing this <br />voluntary information sill help the g-ove manager select BMPs that are appropriate for their specific grove configuration. <br />L 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 />Irrigation and Drainage information <br />a Single row beds with swales: <br />b. Double row beds: <br />(% sand, silt, clay) <br />(width and type) <br />(width and t3,pe) <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 y es answer for any sun•ev question indicates that the grove being surveyed is in compliance with the <br />referenced BMPs. A no answer indicates that the referenced BMPs would improve the environmental performance of the <br />grove. but implementation of all BMPs so referenced is not required_ Review BMPs listed for questions that were <br />answered "no' . Select specific BMPs from those indicated by a no answer that are appropriate for application to the <br />gro\ e unit surveyed These BMPs to be implemented should be listed in the "BMPs... that grog e management agrees to <br />implement." section. Use the comment section at the end of this document (Section VII) to explain why certain BMPs <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 question or section does not <br />apply to that particular grove. <br />1 <br />
