Annual Agronomist Report
Dear Mr. Honeycutt:
As required under Condition 10 under Part IV of Permit No. WQ-0004268, Sager Creek
Vegetable Company (Sager Creek) is providing an Annual Agronomist Report prepared by our
consultant, Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA (S&EC).
The S&EC Report makes some recommendations for soil amendments (potassium, magnesium,
and sulfur) is some fields and resampling of soil in one area. Sager Creek is making plans to
proceed with these recommendations in the spring.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Sager Creek Vegetable Company

Re: Annual Agronomist Report for Wastewater Irrigation Spray Fields Located at Sager Creek
Vegetable Company (Formally Aliens, Inc: Plant #7) —Sampson County, NC.
I. Introduction
Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA, (S&EC) has completed an annual agronomic
evaluation for the continued operation of the spray irrigation fields for the site referenced
above. This report addresses the permit conditions set forth by NC-DWQ permit number
WQ0004268 concerning the annual agronomic evaluation for each spray field currently in
operation. The purpose of this report is to evaluate current site management practices and
agronomic conditions that contribute to the ability of the established crops to assimilate
nutrients in an efficient manner. As part of the study, S&EC evaluated irrigation zones 1-18
(and 18A) located approximately 2 miles southwest of the existing canning facility on Rowan
Road as well as Zones A-D, located directly south and southwest of the facility. Fieldwork

II. Evaluation Methods and Observations
In order to accommodate high rates of wastewater application, Coastal bermudagrass serves
as the warm season receiver crop. Coastal bermudagrass, a hybrid bermudagrass variety, is a
wann season perennial that grows quickly in the summer months and has a high capacity to
assimilate plant nutrients, making it well -suited for wastewater disposal applications. Since
bermudagrass goes dormant in the late fall, wintertime wastewater application is
accommodated by over -seeding the bermudagrass. with winter annual ryegrassor oats. ~ s dr

S&EC traversed the individual spray zones and observed current site management practices as
well as current cropping conditions. At the time of the evaluation, S&EC observed that Zones
1-18 and Zones A, B and C had actively growing ryegrass interspersed with various weeds.

At the time of the field visit, S&EC observed localized" areas of ponding across the site.
However, it should be noted that significant snowmelt largely contributed to the saturated
conditions. S&EC did not observe significant signs of runoff from the fields (i.e. gullies,
drainage patterns, etc.). In addition, S&EC observed that vegetated buffers were well -
maintained around each spray field.
Sager Creek Vegetable Company provided S&EC with soil .fertility laboratory data for all
irrigation zones. In irrigation Zones A-D and 1-18, soil samples were collected by Crop
Production Services and analyzed by Waters Agricultural Laboratories, Inc. Soil fertility lab
analyses results are included in Attachment 1 for reference. Monthly and annual nitrogen
loading rates for individual spray zones were provided to S&EC by the client`-§ EC -used
these figures -to verify annual-nitrogenwloing rates are within permit -limits -set forth for
individual irrigation zone
III. Soil Sample Results and Recommendations
According to the nitrogen loading data provided to S&EC, the application rates for each zone
appear to be within permit limits, while also providing adequate plant available nitrogen
(PAN) for Coastal bermudagrass and winter ryegrass/oats production.
Based on a review of the soil sample lab results, the soils at this site generally have adequate
soil fertility conditions to support growth of bermudagrass and annual winter ryegrass with a
few exceptions.,As noteTin`the soil`fertilitytest results, curt_ent_soiLtestpotassiwn_(K)- else

According to the soil sample data, soil pH is slightly higher than optimal in Zones C, D, 1,
3A, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 14, 15 and 18A, but does not warrant remedial action at this time. Soil pH
values for these zones varied from 7.3-7.5. Because maintaining a pH of 6.0-7.0 is important

for ensuring optimal nutrient availability, soil pH should be monitored on an annual basis.

that annual soil samples should continue to include an analysis of Exchangeable Sodium
Percentage (ESP) to monitor sodium levels.
Zones A-D and Zones 1-18 are all categorized as "Very High" in teens of soil phosphorus.
An index value of "Very High" indicates that there will be no crop yield response with
additional P applications. Although applying additional phosphorus to these spray areas does
not pose any agronomic issues, the high soil P levels may pose an environmental conceal if
significant runoff and/or, soil erosion occurs. Considering the current cover crops and their
beneficial erosion control properties, as well as stream and waterway buffers, additional
wastewater-P application should not pose a high risk of P-loss. However, irrigation schedules
should be closely monitored to avoid over -saturating irrigation zones, which could lead to
excessive runoff.
