Inspection Date: 04/18/18 Inpsection Type: Compliance Inspection, Reason for Visit: Follow-up
Today's visit was to meet with Mr. Koopman and develope a plan for cropping and managing waste application on the application
fields along Old Red Cross Road.
3. Observed some sediment washing off application fields. Much improved over last year though.
10. Waste has recently been applied to the application field (corn) and tilled -in to help control odor and reduce potential for run-off
of sediment and waste. Waste was NOT applied within the required 25-foot setback from the stream and is therefore compliant.
DO NOT till the land within 25-ft of the stream so that vegetation may establish. k
10. Buffers were recently seeded with a contractor blend (fescue, rye, millet, etc.). Buffers are to be seeded again, if needed, this
Fall to establish permanent vegetation along the stream.
10. Waterways have been re -worked and were seeded to try to establish some vegetation (contractor blend seed).
Ravines/gullies still need some improvement to eliminate run-off of waste and sediment into the stream. Suggest using straw,
hay bales, and/or pushing woody debris along the field border to help control run-off.
15. Corn and small grain stands were not particularly abundant last year. Need a healthier and more uniform corn crop this year
to absorb nutrients and reduce run-off. Mathis' are to plant corn starting next week.
33. Met with Mr. Koopman 4/18/2018 who followed -up by sending photos on 4/23/2018 of additional work (straw, hay, etc.) that
was done in the field after my visit.
34. Check next winter/spring.
