6 Farm Evaluation - Surface and Groundwater Practices Irrigation Practices If there is irrigation water draining from the property: Ponding/drainage basins are used to capture and retain drainage water. A tailwater return system is used to recirculate drainage water. PAM (polyacrylamide) is used in irrigation (furrow) water to increase water infiltration and decrease sediment runoff. Drip emitters, micro-sprinklers, or sprinklers are used to reduce runoff and minimize N leaching Frequent light irrigations are scheduled on coarse-textured soils to minimize movement of nitrates into groundwater. Well Head Protection Practices Well heads are checked annually for cracks and leaks. The well casing extends at least 12 inches above the ground level. Back flow preventers or check valves are used with pressurized irrigation systems Measures are in place to prevent puddling around well heads The soil surface slopes downward and away from the wellhead Nitrogen Fertilizer Application Practices Soil tests are taken to determine crop nutrient needs. Tissue samples are taken during the season to determine in-season needs of the crop. Irrigation water is tested for nitrate and available N is subtracted from the total nitrogen requirement Fertilizer applications are managed to mimimize the leaching of fertilizers below the root zone. Injection or incorporation is used to minimize fertilizer runoff. Fertilizer applications are delayed when significantly wet weather is forecast near the planned time of the application. Foliar nutrient applications are made to supplement and reduce soil applications Multiple low rate fertilizer applications are utilized to meet crop needs and mimimize movement out of the root zone. Variable rate/gps is used to improve efficiency and reduce the amount of fertilizer applied. Check If Done NA
7 Farm Evaluation - Surface and Groundwater Practices Pesticide Practices All conditions specified on the county permit are followed. Label instructions and restrictions are adhered to in all applications. If field has storm or irrigtion runoff potential, herbicide applications are timed to decrease the chance of runoff. Injection or incorporation is used to minimize pesticide runoff from a heavy rain. Pesticide applications are delayed when significantly wet weather is forecast near the planned time of the application. Pesticides that are less likely to leach are used where possible Check If Done NA Mixing and loading sites are graded to slope away from any water source. A distance of at least 100 feet is maintained between the mixing and loading site and any well, stream, lake or other water source and graded to slope away from any water source. Some vegetation is allowed to grow in drain ditches. Weather conditions are monitored prior to applications to determine if unfavorable conditions (rain, wind, inversions, etc.) are in the forecast. Buffer zones are used when applications are made near sensitive areas. End of row shut off of sprayer nozzles is practiced. Water collected from rinsing and cleaning application equipment is applied to the original application site. All equipment is calibrated properly prior to applications. Drift control agents are used. Target sensing spray technology (Smart Sprayer) is utilized.

Name of Farmer / Operator Mailing address Phone number (work / cell) address (if applicable) 6. Name of Land Owner if different than farmer/operator Contact information (address or phone number) Total acres 7. Total irrigated farmed acres 8. Which crops are grown on the farm?
9 Sediment & Erosion Control Practices Checklist Field Crops/Row Crops Irrigation Practices Drip irrigation installed and used where practical (furrow-irrigated crops). In-furrow dams are used to increase infiltration and settling out of sediment prior to entering the tail ditch. Recirculation systems are used to keep sediment and farm inputs on site. Water is recirculated to irrigate other fields. Use of irrigation scheduling methods and equipment to match irrigations to crop needs where possible. Use of irrigation equipment (sprinklers, micro-sprinklers, emitters, etc.) to match soil infiltration rates as much as possible to prevent runoff. The time between pesticide applications and the next irrigation is lengthened as much as possible to mitigate runoff of pesticide residue. Storm water is captured using field borders to supplement field irrigation. Shorter irrigation runs are used with checks to manage and capture flows. Use of flow dissipaters to minimize erosion at discharge point. Land leveling has been done to increase irrigation efficiency. Check If Practice Has Been Implemented NA Cultural Practices Vegetated ditches are used to remove sediment as well as water soluble pesticides, phosphate fertilizers and some forms of nitrogen. Vegetative filter strips and buffers are used to capture flows. Sediment basins / holding ponds are used to settle out sediment and hydrophobic pesticides such as pyrethroids from irrigation and storm runoff. Cover crops or native vegetation are used to reduce erosion. Hedgerows or trees are used to help stabilize soils and trap sediment movement. Soil water penetration has been increased through the use of amendments, deep ripping and/or aeration. Crop rows are graded, directed and at a length that will optimize the use of rain and irrigation water. Creek banks and stream banks have been stabilized. Subsurface pipelines are used to channel runoff water. PAM (polyacrylamide) used in furrow and flood irrigated fields to help bind sediment and increase infiltration. Berms are constructed at low ends of fields to capture runoff and trap sediment. Minimum tillage incorporated to minimize erosion.
10 1. Identify any areas of your farming operation that are subject to erosion or frequent runoff events that mobilize sediment: 2. List practices that are or will be implemented in the areas described above (#1) to minimize or eliminate the discharge of sediment:
11 General Order Requirements of Sediment and Erosion Control Plan General Order (page 24) Section VII C. Sediment and Erosion Control Plan The requirements and deadlines of this section apply as specified to Members that are required to develop a Sediment and Erosion Control Plan per section IV.B.7 of this Order. The Member must use the Sediment and Erosion Control Plan Template approved by the Executive Officer (see section VIII.C below), or equivalent. The Sediment and Erosion Control Plan must be prepared in one of the following ways: The Sediment and Erosion Control Plan must adhere to the site-specific recommendation from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), NRCS technical service provider, the University of California Cooperative Extension, the local Resource Conservation District; or conform to a local county ordinance applicable to erosion and sediment control on agricultural lands. The Member must retain written documentation of the recommendation provided and certify that they are implementing the recommendation; or The Sediment and Erosion Control Plan must be prepared and self-certified by the Member, who has completed a training program that the Executive Officer concurs provides necessary training for sediment and erosion control plan development; or The Sediment and Erosion Control Plan must be written, amended, and certified by a Qualified Sediment and Erosion Control Plan Developer possessing one of the following registrations or certifications, and appropriate experience with erosion issues on irrigated agricultural lands: California registered professional civil engineer, geologist, engineering geologist, landscape architect; professional hydrologist registered through the American Institute of Hydrology; certified soil scientist registered through the American Society of Agronomy; Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPSEC)TM/Certified Professional in Storm Water Quality (CPSWQ)TM registered through Enviro Cert International, Inc.; professional in erosion and sediment control registered through the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET); or The Sediment and Erosion Control Plan must be prepared and certified in an alternative manner approved by the Executive Officer.
