CITRUS GROWER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES CHECKLIST <br /> The following checklist is desisted to assist Indian River Area Citrus Growers in identifVing the <br /> most appropriate Best <br /> Management Practices (BMPs) or group of strategies for their specific site and growing conditions. The results should be kept <br /> on <br /> file and reviewed annually to determine if progress is bring 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 this <br /> voluntan• information will help the grove manager select BMPs that are appropriate for their specific grove configuration. <br /> I. INTRODUCTION * <br /> A . '.Name and Location : <br /> 1 . Grove Name : Is 11 Is Is <br /> ? . Legal Description : (Trp . , 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 /> ? . 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 yes answer for any surI question indicates that the grove being sun eved is in compliance <br /> with the <br /> referenced BMPs . A no answer indicates that the referenced BNIPs would improve the environmental performance of the <br /> grove. but implementation of all BIN'1Ps so referenced is not required. Review BMIPs listed for questions that <br /> «vere <br /> answered no Select specific BlvPs 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 "BMPs . . . that grove 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 /> apple to that particular grove . <br /> 1 <br />
