CITRUS GRONWER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES CHECKLIST <br /> The following checklist is designed to assist Indian River Area Citrus Growers in identif-ing the <br /> most appropriate Best <br /> Management Practices (BMPs) or group of strategies for their specific site and groNying conditions . The results should be kept <br /> on <br /> file and reviCNved annualh• 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 tnandaton• . but <br /> listing :his <br /> voluntan• information «-ill help the grove manager select BMPs that are appropriate for their specific grove configuration. <br /> I.

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 shoving 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 .

Pump capacity outflow/intake : <br /> * Note : A yes answer for any survey question indicates that the grove being sun•eyed is in compliance <br /> «vith 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 BNIPs so referenced is not required Review BMPs listed for questions that <br /> mere <br /> answered " no" . Select specific BNIPs from those indicated by a no answer that are appropriate for application to <br />the <br /> grove unit sun•eyed. These BMPs to be implemented should be listed in the `BMPs . . . that grove management agrees to <br /> implement. " section. Use the comment section at the end of this document ( Section VII) to explain «vhN- certain BMPs <br /> from questions that were answered " no" will not be implemented.
