| IRRIGATION | |||||||||
| Do any broken drip or supply lines, or any other irrigation components need repair? | |||||||||
| Is there evidence of uneven irrigation levels, such as desiccated media or marshy conditions? If so, note on as-built plan. | |||||||||
| Does irrigation regime need to be adjusted? | |||||||||
