Nutrient Management Plan For Septage Applications to
Coastal Bermudagrass and Small Grains
Prepared for:

Shannon, NC 28386
(910) 640 - 9293
A. General Information
1. Sampling of septage for waste analysis, NCDA & CS soil sample for nutrient and metals
to be done annually.
2. Total of 17 acres is the septage application site and will be treated as one field.
3. Dominant soil series is Wakulla (WkB).
4. Septage will not be applied where the site is untrafficable or a loaded truck leaves a
depression 3 inches or greater and/or soil moisture is too great to adequately absorb the
septage.
5. Septage storage shall be provided to account for the average volume of septage pumped
per week, or an alternative plan, such as disposal at a waste water treatment plant, should
be in place.
B. Crops to be grown and approximate planting and harvesting times.
1. The field is already established in hybrid bermudagrass. The recommended rate of
Nitrogen to apply is between 40-60 pounds per acre after each cutting of hay to maintain
the stand. This would be 3-4 times or 120-180 pounds per year. If septic waste meets this
requirement, then no additional nitrogen is recommended.
2. Areas that develop with less than 80% groundcover by Bermuda will be re -sprigged with
bermuada at a rate of 40-60 bushels per acre in the month of April. Sufficient ground
cover of the approved crop (Bermuda/small grains) is required for land application to
occur.
Y45
Each year thereafter, the field will be overseeded with a or wheat at a rate
of 100-1201bs per acre in October or November.

NOTE: Cumulative application rate is not to exceed the permitted application rate. Annual
application rate is not to exceed 50,000 gallons per acre.
E. Application Method
The preceding information is based on septage being evenly applied over the entire
permitted site using normal septage application equipment.
F. Additional Fertility Requirements
Additional nitrogen supplied will not exceed the Total N requirement of the crop.
Phosphorus and potassium will be added in accordance with the soil test results for the crops
grown.

G. Harvest of the crops and their use
1. The bermuda grass will be cut as hay and baled whenever it reaches approximately 12-18
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 unless under drought conditions.
2. The small grains will be cut as hay and baled in March - May of each year.
3. Records and amounts of round or square bales harvested from site will be kept, as will
yields from the small grains after each harvest.
4. The septage applied forage will be harvested by contracting a third party to cut and
harvest the hay for animal feed.
5. A 30-day waiting period must be observed between the last application of septage and
harvest. This site is managed as one field and the required 30-day waiting period shall be
followed by utilizing an alternative disposal location such as a wastewater treatment
plant.
H. Weed Control
Weed control may be needed in order to maintain 80% groundcover and to produce the
realistic yield expectations for the approved crop stand. Weed control may be obtained
through different methods (mowing or herbicides) or a combination of methods. For
specific recommendations, proper identification of the weed or weeds is necessary. The
local cooperative extension agent or regional agronomist may be contacted for advice.
I. Buffers
1. Soil erosion and runoff control plan - Given that slopes on this site do not exceed five
percent, a 50 foot buffer, planted in bermuda and small grains, should suffice to prevent
septage waste from migrating off of the fields. (More severe site conditions could require
that soil erosion structures be installed before septage can be applied).
