We keep a Compost Process Log to document these procedures. Compost Storage (if applicable): (You must choose either E or F depending on your farm situation.) Composted manure is applied immediately after it is received, requiring no storage on farm. To prevent recontamination of compost piles and contamination of nearby water sources by runoff, compost piles are covered with a [state material], and stored [state distance] from surface water, [state distance] from well heads, and [state distance] from produce fields. [Describe any other precautions taken to minimize contamination by runoff and windspread, such as downhill, downwind, or use of vegetative buffers]. Recordkeeping Records are kept of fields receiving soil amendments, including type (raw, composted manure, or inorganic), quantity, application method, dates of application, fields where it was applied, and crops planted (pertains to raw manure users at least 1 year). We keep a Soil Amendment Application Log – to document all application practices. All recordkeeping logs are located [enter location here] and stored for [enter time period here-should be at least 2 years].
