Implemented plans denote the following criteria:
Action items for all red box questions (those with high priority due to an associated high level of risk) have been achieved (i.e., turned green).
Verify that producers applying for a ‘Statement of Implementation’ have addressed all the outstanding issues on their EFP Action Plan by:
Reviewing the producer’s EFP Action Plan.
Confirm all issues triggered by a red box in the EFP have been addressed.
Confirm all Planning BMPs that the EFP triggered have been completed.
Review the application for a Statement of Implementation provided by the producer, sign if complete, and forward to the IAF office and producer.
The significance of implementation is that action has been taken to change practices and mitigate environmental issues. This strongly indicates that Beneficial Management Program action items have been implemented.
