AREAS OF CONCERN AND COMMENTS:

1) Required signage present along access road before you get to the site.
2) Access road is well maintained.
3) Most markers up. One marker down along the southern edge before you get to the wet area of the field.
4) No septage discharges noticed outside of the permitted boundary of the field.
5) No recent septage applications noticed. No spot dumps or thick applications noticed today.
6) Russ is planning on cutting the bermudagrass soon. Waiting for the weather to cooperate. Good stand of
bermudagrass in the permitted field. Some weed control needed.
7) No application at time of inspection. pH not checked.
8) No objectionable odors noticed today.
9) No issues noted with setback distances.
10) Application for permit renewal received on 10/22/14. Reviewed and modified the nutrient management plan with
Russ. Made changes to the nutrient management plan concerning the monthly rates and 80% crop coverage.
Monthly application rates to Coastal Bermuda overseeded with rye adjusted for the higher permitted maximum
annual application rate of 100,000 gal/ac/yr within the nutrient management plan. Current monthly application
rates were defined in the permit. Monthly application rates for Coastal Bermuda should match now within the
nutrient management plans for SLAS-59-05 and SLAS-59-02.
11) Also, reviewed the land application logs. The monthly application rate for the Field was exceeded for the month of
October in 2012 and 2013. The permit has a monthly application rate of 10,000 gal/ac for the low months which
includes October. The records showed that 11,884 gal/ac was applied in October 2012 and 10,526 gal/ac was
applied in October 2013.
12) Russ is working on adding more land to the permit. I reviewed with Russ the documents that are needed to add the
land to the permit. Russ and Bennie Moore drove me around the area they are looking to add. Area was sprigged
in Coastal Bermuda. Hard to see any bermudagrass due to the coverage of crabgrass.
13) Application records for 2015 thru 2016 was emailed on 08/01/16 as requested.
