Providing the information requested below for the Introduction section is not mandaton-, but <br /> listing this <br /> voluntan- information Mll help the grove manager select BNIPs that are appropriate for their specific grove configuration . <br /> I.

A no answer indicates that the referenced BMPs would improve the environmental performance of the <br /> grove. but implementation of all BN/lPs so referenced is not required Review BNIPs listed for questions that <br /> «vere <br /> answered " no'* . Select specific BNIPs from those indicated by a no answer that are appropriate for application to <br />the <br /> grove unit sunveved.
