ADDITIONAL REGIONAL STAFF REVIEW ITEMS Please refer to the attached site visit summary. The vegetation had not been mowed and all landscape features were visible. This site will be reviewed before the first application. FORM: WQROSSR 04-14 Page 2 of 2 On July 22, 2022, Division of Water Resources staff Caitlin Caudle completed an on site soils review. Brent Collins of EMA Resources was present. Field DV-8-10 CLC3 (35.8563, -80.4879) Saprolite was present 10-14"+. There was no evidence of the seasonal high water table within 12" of the surface. Limiting slopes have been excluded from the application area. Wedowee is an appropriate soil series for this field. The application method will be surface application. Field DV-8-11 Limiting slopes have been excluded from the application area. Mr. Collins is going to provided an updated application map for this field as there are some areas that have been cleared that are not shown on the aerial map. The application method will be surface application. Rion is an appropriate soil series. Field DV-8-12 CLC1 (35.8618, -80.4878) 0-4 10YR 4/8 5-10 10YR 4/8, 7.5YR 5/8 concentrations starting 10-15 10YR 6/3, 10YR 5/8 concentrations increase with depth 15-19+ 2.5Y 6/3, 10YR 5/8 mottles, clay content increased, clay films present This soil is within the range of characteristics of Chewacla. The seasonal high water table at this location was greater than 19". CLC2 (35.8616, -80.4857) 0-6 10YR 4/8 6-12 10YR 5/4, 10YR 5/6 mottles 12-15+ 10YR 6/1, 10YR 5/6 mottles continue This soil is within the range of characteristics of Chewacla. The seasonal highwater table at this location was at 12". The recommended application method for this field is incorporation due to it being in the 100yr flood plain of Dutchman Creek. The soils report provided described the seasonal high water table at 15". The official soil description states that the seasonal high water table is up from November to April. At least a foot of separation is needed between the seasonal high water table and the depth of incorporation. Based on field evidence the seasonal high water table is 12 inches or greater below the surface. Field conditions were also dry. The drainage ditch in the middle of the field was dry at the time of the site visit. A seasonal restriction on this field may be appropriate. If this is not approved this field may need to be removed as the whole field is in the 100yr flood plain unless a clear delineation of where the seasonal high water table is >18" below the surface can be provided.

Using Mehlich 3 as a soil test extractant, background levels of these metals typically seen in NC soils when analyzed are as follows: arsenic (As)- 4.5 ppm, cadmium (Cd)- 0.1 ppm, chromium (Cr)- 0.2 ppm, lead (Pb)- 4.2 ppm, nickel (Ni)- 0.8 ppm, & selenium (Se)- 0.2 ppm (FY2005-2007). Note elevated lead (Pb) in 10 and 11 samples. Although the above metals here are not believed to pose a concern for plant growth, continue to monitor these and note where elevated above background levels. Note any lime and fertilizer recommendations.
