is widely 50 m for right and left of the river.
Follow-up audit verification:
At the time of location visitation, there is a warning board which prohibited spraying or chemical application in radius of 100 m from left and right of river. Based on interviews with sprayers, they
have been briefed for not spraying and do manual weeding for 6 palm oil plants in the Gaharu river estimated distance about 50 meters and the restriction was marked with yellow paint on the border
