Instructions 1. This Final Report Questionnaire must be submitted and approved by OSCIA to receive your final

payment.

2. Verify you have the proper Final Report Questionnaire for your project. This Final ReportQuestionnaire is for:

Erosion Control Structures (Producers) [Category Code: ESIM-PD-I]

3. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

Purpose The purpose of this Final Report Questionnaire is to identify the results and impact of project activities completed, as well as client satisfaction, related to Canadian Agricultural Partnership cost-share funding for producers. Responses will not impact your final claim; however, to receive funding under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, this Final Report Questionnaire must be completed.

acres rented

3. Where is the outlet of your structural erosion control project? (Provide aGPS coordinate for the location of this on your farm operation) *

4. With your project in place, what area of the field would you estimate willbenefit from reduced risk of soil loss from erosion? (e.g. what is the drainagearea impacted by your structural erosion control project?) *

Grassed waterways

Contour terraces

Gully stabilization

Constructed wetlands

Vegetative strips of perennial cover planted on the contour

Upgrade or modifications of existing, eroded tile outlet structures

Upgrade or modification of existing tile surface inlets or decommissioning of inlets

Tile surface inlet upgrades to reduce sediment loss or enhance ponding time

5. How many acres of your farm operation would you estimate will continue tobe at risk of soil loss/require future improvement projects to be completed?*

acres owned

acres rented

6. What type of tillage system do you use on your farm operation? *

Acres Owned

No disturbance (e.g. perennial crop)

No-till (soil is minimally disturbed for seed placement only)

Zone till/strip-till (disturbs less than 30% of the soil surface (includes up to 2 passes of vertical tillage)

Reduced till (includes ridge till, 3 or more vertical tillage passes and any other tillage equipment that doesn’t invert the majority of the residue); 1 to 2 passes after wheat or corn; Achieves more than 30% residue cover after planting)

Conventional (with spring mouldboard tillage and any other full inversion tillage)

Conventional (with fall mouldboard tillage and any other full inversion tillage)

Acres Rented

No disturbance (e.g. perennial crop)

No-till (soil is minimally disturbed for seed placement only)

Reduced till (includes ridge till, 3 or more vertical tillage passes and any other tillage equipment that doesn’t invert the majority of the residue); 1 to 2 passes after wheat or corn; Achieves more than 30% residue cover after planting)

Conventional (with spring mouldboard tillage and any other full inversion til lage)

Conventional (with fall mouldboard tillage and any other full inversion tillage)
