trees and truck emptying on the road. No evidence of septage on the road. Fields 1 and 2 have pine
trees as the permitted crop.
2) Two shallow trenches had been dug within the first row of pine trees in Field 1 along the path. Do not
dig trenches within the permitted or buffered areas. See pictures below.
3) Indentations / ruts noticed within Field 1. Be careful with applications when the site is wet. Application
