The results should be kept <br /> on <br /> file and reviewed annusllN, 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 mandator. . but <br /> listing :his <br /> voluntan• information will help the grove manager select BNIPs that are appropriate for their specific grove confi _curation . <br /> I.
