2 PRIMUSGFS v3. REFERENCE INFORMATION IRRIGATION / WATER USE This irrigation / water use section should be completed for each of the farm and indoor agriculture operations IF USING: MUNICIPAL / DISTRICT WATER Complete Pages: / IF USING: WELL WATER Complete Pages: / IF USING: NON-FLOWING SURFACE WATER (pond, reservoir, watershed) Complete Pages: / IF USING: OPEN FLOWING SURFACE WATER (river, canal, ditch) Complete Pages: / IF USING: RECLAIMED WATER Complete Pages: / 3.1. IF USING: TAIL WATER (includes hydroponics) Complete Pages: / Where laws, commodity specific guidelines and/or best practice recommendations exist and are derived from a reputable source, then these practices and parameters should be used. This includes FSMA guidelines, and where any FSMA guidelines are stricter than the audit guidelines, the FSMA guidelines prevail, including compost produced in-house. Audit users should allow a degree of risk association if laws, guidelines, best practices, etc., have not been documented. 218 Primus Group, Inc. All rights reserved PGFS-ND-12-9 AUGUST 22, 218

3 PRIMUSGFS v3. Applicability Table (s in the same column as the Irrigation / Water source used in the growing operation should be answered.

Municipal / District Well Non-flowing Surface Water Open Flowing Surface Water Reclaimed Water Tail Water Which water source(s) is/are used in the growing operation? For the water source(s) used in the operation, all informational gathering questions must be reviewed in the below sections for each source.
