NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR SEPTAGE APPLICATIONS TO
BERMUDA GRASS AND SMALL GRAIN
A.General Information:
1.Periodic sampling (at least 1/year} of the septage will be conducted for waste analysis.
Standard Nitrogen content in septage is 2.6 lbs N/1000 gallons. Samples shall be collected
by Albemarle Septic and given to Tidewater Agronomics, Inc for submission to NCDA
Agronomic Division.
2.Farm 2658, Tract 325; located in Perquimans County, NC; contains approximately 120
cleared acres. The attached FSA map for the site shows field identifications and boundaries.
The applicant desires to have the entire farm approved for septage application. But for this
first season Fields A (6.5 ac) and B (6.6 ac) will have Bermuda grass established and be
planted to small grain for hay in winter.
3.There are six soil series on the site. Altavista fine sandy loam (AaA) covers 25% of the area,
Augusta fine sandy loam covers 26%, Chowan silt loam covers 3%, Conetoe loamy sand
covers 45% and finally Dorovan muck and Tomotley fine sandy loam make up the remaining
1%. See attached soil survey map.
4.Septage will not be applied when or where the site is un-trafficable (un-trafficable is
defined as soil wet enough that a loaded truck will leave a depression in sod greater than 3
inches in depth).
5.All nitrogen recommendations for forages will be 75% of the realistic yield expectation
nitrogen rate should be forage be grazed.
6.Septage storage shall be provided to account for the average volume of septage pumper
per week, or an alternative plan, such as disposal at waste treatment plant, should be in
place.
7.The site will have soil samples taken on an annual basis to track P, K, and heavy metals.
Samples taken 3/5/2020 will establish the baseline (results are attached).
B.Crops to be grown and approximate planting times:
1. Fields A & B including buffer zones will be seeded in Cheyenne Bermuda grass at a rate of 15
lb/acre in April (month) of 2022 in order to establish a permanent stand. To promote stand
establishment, the following steps will be harvest/reduced vehicular traffic, etc.
Refer to attached discussions. Areas that develop with less than 80% groundcover of
Bermuda will be re-seeded with Bermuda at a rate of 15 pounds /A in June or July.
Edited by Chester Cobb on 8/16/2022. Edits in red.
Thereafter, all fields will be inter-seeded with wheat or oats at a rate of approximately 150
pounds/ A using a no-till drill in early -mid October.

Note: Cumulative application rate is not to exceed the permitted application rate.
Annual application rate is not to exceed 50,000 gallons per acre.
At 2.6 lbs. N/1000-gal 50,000 gal/ A would supply only 130 lbs./ A N.
E.Application Method
The preceding information is based on septage being evenly applied over the entire permitted site by
surface broadcasting w/a pump truck.
F.Additional Fertility Requirements
Phosphorus and potassium will be added in accordance with the soil test results for the crops grown.
NOTE:
If a septage analysis is available, the phosphorus fertilizer requirement can be reduced by accounting
for the amount of phosphorus in the septage.
Waters Ag Lab Soil Test results are attached (analyzed to NC Agronomic Division Standards) Since this
is a new site which has had no septage applied these index levels will become the baseline for
monitoring buildup of P, Kand metals.
Approximately 300 lbs/ A of 20-0-25-10 (N-P-K-S) fertilizer will need to be added to the land application
area in May and July to keep the Bermuda grass stand strong, healthy and thick.
The buffer areas will be fertilized with 600 lbs/A of 20-0-25-10 (N-P-K-S ) fertilizer to maintain proper
hay production.
* Any additional nitrogen (N) applied to the Fields must be accounted for with the septage
applications.
G.Harvest of crop and their uses:
1.The Bermuda grass will be cut as hay and baled whenever it reaches approximately 12 inches in
height, or roughly every 4 to 6 weeks beginning in June. At least three harvests will be made from
each field each year.
2.The wheat and Oats will be cut as hay and baled in April and May of each year from Field A and B,
respectively.
3.The fields will be managed such that the 30-day waiting period will be observed between the last
application of septage and the harvest of the crop as hay.

Proposed New SLAS off Belvidere Road in Perquimans County

Preliminary visit to site on 04/16/2021 by Chester Cobb and Jeffrey Bullard to confirm potential area for
the planting of bermudagrass as the crop. The area had been evaluated by Kevin Carver, soil scientist,
who determined the area to be suitable. Upon the initial review, the area below was determined to be
suitable.

Application for SLAS Permit received on 10/26/2021. Nutrient Management Plan was submitted with
application. On 08/09/2022, the complete soil report was emailed to Chester Cobb.
Site visit conducted on 08/12/2022 by Chester Cobb and Jeffrey Bullard as a final inspection prior to
issuing the SLAS Permit. Markers had been placed and the required SLAS signage was present at the
site. The bermudagrass had been establish with excellent coverage across the site. The setbacks and
soils around the pond were rechecked. Areas highlighted in pink on the map below were not included in
the permitted area due to the depth to the seasonal high-water table being less than 24 inches. Soil
texture generally ranged from sandy loam to sandy clay loam. Soils generally range from Conetoe loamy
sand to Altavista fine sandy loam. Field was split into two fields with about equal acreages. See map
below. Of the area within the application and soil report, only Fields DL12 and DL13 were evaluated for
septage applications. Fields DL4, DL5, DL6, DL7, DL8, DL9, DL10, and DL11 were not evaluated.
