NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR SEPTAGE APPLICATIONS TO
BERMUDAGRASS HAY AND WINTER OVERSEER
Heber Hudson Road Site
A General information.
i Periodic Sampling of the septage will be conducted for waste analysis at least once per
year.
ii Soil samples shall be taken and analyzed for fertility levels and heavy metals (copper, zinc,
arsenic, lead, cadmium, nickel, and selenium) at least every two years in late fall or early
winter.
iii. Field 1 contains approximately 3.9 acres with Ocilla (OCB) as the dominate soil series. Field
2 contains approximately 3.6 acres with Wagram (Wab) as the dominate soil series.
iv. Septage will not be applied where the site is untrafficable (defined as soil that will
allow a loaded truck to leave a depression in sod greater than 3 inches in depth.)
v When land application is not suitable at this site, the Septage will he disposed of at
the treatment facility owned by the City of Greenville INC.
B. Crops to be grown and approximate planting times;
i The site is established in hybrid bermudagrass.
ii. In October or early November each year, the bermudagrass will be overseeded with
cereal rye, wheat. or small grain mix ("winter overseed"j at an approximate rate of 120
Ibslacre (broadcast) or 100 Ibslacre (drilled). As a substitute, annual ryegrass may be
planted at a rate of approximately 30 to 40 Ibslacre {broadcast} or 20 to 30 Ibslacre
(drilled). Failure of not reaching 80°I crop coverage may require reseeding of the
overseed.
w. Any areas that have less than 80% ground cover by hybrid bermudagrass will be seeded
with a forage type bermudagrass such as Cheyenne. Generally, the seeding rate is
6-10 Ibs/ac, broadcast or drilled, to a planting depth of '/a to '/d inch. Planting should
be done between March 15 and June 7 when the soil temperature in the upper 4
inches is 65OF or higher. Typically, somewhere between April 1 and May 15 is the
best time.

NOTE; Cumulative application rate Is not to exceed the permitted application rate, Annual
application rate Is not to exceed 50,000 gallons per sort. The plant available nitrogen amount In

E. Application Method,
i
The preceding information is based on septage being evenly applied over the entire permitted
r'
site using a pumper truck with spreader spoon. Permitted boundaries of the site and practices
outlined in the permit apply
F. Additional Fertility Requirements,
Plant uptake and utilization of nitrogen may be decreased if other essential plant nutrients
become limited. Septage does not contain adequate levels of all essential plant nutrients.
Therefore, other essential plant nutrients such as phos horns and potassium may be needed
-------------
for optimum plant growth. Except or nitrogen, additions of the other essential plant nutrients
should follow the recommendations from the analyses of the soil samples as noted in Section
A-1 above- The nitrogen application amounts must follow this nutrient management plan. Any
commercial nitrogen fertilizer additions must be counted along with the septage applications.
The total amount of nitrogen applied must not exceed the nitrogen amount listed for the
cropping system in Section C. Separate soil samples should be taken from the buffer areas
and analyzed for the fertility level. Fertilize the buffer area based on the recommendations from
the soil test report.
G. Pest Management:
Maintaining soil fertility levels for optimal crop production, spreading septage evenly across the
fields, and following harvesting recommendations help with controlling weeds. Should weeds or
other pests such as insects become an issue, please contact your local County Cooperative
Extension Service for assistance.
H. Harvest of the craps and their use -
I The bermudagrass will be cut as hay and baled whenever it reaches approximately 14
inches in height, or roughly every 4 to 6 weeks beginning in approximately May or .tune
Likely three to four harvests will be made off bermudagrass each year
11 The winter overseed will be cut as hay and baled in March and/or April of each year
tit A 3{3-da w itin eriod must be observed between the last application of septage and
harvest. The 30-day waiting period can be met by rotating applications to the other field,
using a permitted septage detention facility for temporary storage, or disposal at an
approved wastewater treatment plant.
W The hay will be sold only for consumption by either beef cattle or horses or as bedding
materials for swine and other livestock.

Soil Erosion Plan and Runoff Control Plan
Given that slopes on this site do not exceed five percent, a permanent vegetated buffer around
the permitted fields should suffice to prevent septage waste from migrating off the fields. The
permanent vegetated buffer can be the hybrid bermudagrass with winter overseed as with the
fields.

Soil and Site Evaluations on Properties
For Land Application of Septage
Performed for
Mills' Septic Tank Service
Charles Humphrey, NC LSS
[e-mail]
252-864-4074
April 4, 2023

A soil and site evaluation was performed on property in Pitt County (2226 Heber Hudson Rd,
Greenville, NC) (Figure 1 and 2) for Mr. and Mrs. Mills. The 48.6-acre tract was first visited in
September 2022 and again on several occasions between January and April of 2023. The purpose
of the investigation was to determine the size of the area that would be suitable for land
application of septage based on soil morphological characteristics, water table dynamics, and site
conditions. A home located on the northern portion of the property excludes land within a 500-
ft radius from being eligible to receive septage (unless the home will be occupied by septage
applicators and then a 100-ft setback would be used). A drainage ditch that runs in a
southwesterly direction effectively divides the property into 2 fields that were historically used
for row crop production. Field 1 is to the north of the ditch and Field 2 is south of the ditch (Figure
3). The extreme southern part of the property is in forestry. The western property line is a
perennial stream. The drainage ditch dividing the property connects to the stream, which is an
unnamed tributary of Cow Swamp. The drainage ditch is not shown in the soil survey (Figure 4)
or USGS topographic map (Figure 5) as a perennial stream, thus a 100-ft setback would be
appropriate unless permanent grass cover is established and then a 50-ft setback may apply. The
Mills indicated they are planning to establish permanent grass cover on both sides of the drainage
ditch.
An auger was used to create boreholes and soil properties including texture, structure,
color, depth, and number of diagnostic horizons were noted as soil was excavated with the auger.
Multiple borings were performed across each field to determine the boundaries of useable soil
based on morphological properties (Figure 6). A Munsell color chart was used to quantify soil
colors. The soil characteristics observed in the fields were compared to characteristics listed in
the Soil Survey of Pitt County, NC. The soil survey of Pitt County (accessed via Web Soil Survey)
shows Ocilla as the dominant soil on Field 1 and Wagram as the dominant soil on Field 2 (Figure
4). Ocilla is characterized as having a loamy sand surface horizon with sandy clay loam subsoil
and a seasonal high-water table about 2.5 ft below the surface. Wagram also has a loamy sand
topsoil and sandy clay loam subsoil, but with a deeper water table (> 5 ft). Detailed soil profile
descriptions for 3 locations (Figure 7) for each field are shown in Table 1 and Table 2, and pictures

of the profiles are shown in Figures 8 and 9. Based on these descriptions, the main limitation was
depth to soil wetness conditions as indicated by the presence of common mottles with low
chroma colors. For Group II soils like the predominant ones on the two fields, the depth to the
water table or water table indicators must be 24 inches or more. The area delineated on the map
shows the boundaries of the useable area (> 24 inches) for land application of septage based on
soil morphology (colors). It was noted during the initial site visit that the drainage ditch running
through the property was relatively deep (> 3.5 ft in many places) and dry (Figure 10). If the
drainage ditch is effective at removing surface drainage quickly and lowering the water table,
then the depth to actual soil wetness may be deeper than indicated by the soil colors. Eight
groundwater monitoring stations were installed, with four in each field. The monitoring stations
were placed downslope from the useable soil boundary delineated using soil colors and upslope
from the drainage ditch (Stations 1-2, 5-6) or creek (Stations 3, 4, 7, 8). The stations were installed
in late January during the typical "wet season" and depths to groundwater were measured at
least weekly during late January to the beginning of April.
Monitoring data show that groundwater was typically deeper than 2 ft below the surface
on opposite sides of the drainage ditch (at monitoring stations 1, 2, 5, and 6) even after rain
events in late January and early February of 2023 delivered 3 inches of rain in a 1.5-week period
(Figure 11). Groundwater at all monitoring stations (1-4) in Field 1 dropped below 2 ft by late
February (Figure 12) and all monitoring stations in Field 2 (5-8) showed groundwater levels below
2 ft by early March (Figure 13). An estimated 3.6 acres of land in Field 1 and 2.6 acres of land in
Field 2 have soil wetness conditions deeper than 2 ft based solely on soil morphology. If land
between the boundary of the delineated areas using soil morphology and monitoring stations 1,
2, 5, and 6 (deep water tables) are included in the estimates then an additional 0.7 acres may be
used for Field 1 (4.3 acres) and 0.9 acres for Field 2 (3.5 acres) for land application (Figure 14).
Thus, even during the wet season except during and shortly after heavy rains, it is likely that 7.8
acres of land is suitable for land application of septage. Furthermore, based on the observed
water level trends (groundwater at all stations deeper than 2 ft for more than 3 weeks in March
2023), it is likely that the land area between all the monitoring stations (1-8) and the soil
morphology delineated areas has a water table that is greater than 2 ft below the surface for

most of the typical growing season when evapotranspiration rates are greater. Overall, including
these areas into the application acreage for most months would result in approximately 5.1 acres
for Field 1 and 4.1 acres for Field 2, or a total of 9.2 acres.
Soil samples were collected from Fields 1 and 2 using a core sampler. Samples were
collected from across Field 1, placed in a bucket, mixed, and then transferred to a sample box
labeled with the field number. The same sampling procedure was completed for Field 2. The
sample boxes were delivered to the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services
Analytical lab for metal and fertility analyses. The results of the analyses are shown in Figure 14.
Based on the results, nitrogen is the plant essential nutrient that will most limit the yield of hay.
A nitrogen management plan was prepared by a consultant and the results of the plan are shown
at the end of this report.

Agronomist's Comments:
This report contains froth routine soil test information as well as heavy metals data in a section labeled as Heavy Metals under soil test lab results. Using Mehlich 3 as a
soil test extractant, background levels of these metals typically seen in NC soils when analyzed are as follows: arsenic (As)- 4.5 ppm, cadmium (Cd)- 0.1 ppm, chromium
(Cr)- 02 ppm, lead (Pb)- 42 ppm, nickel (Nib 0.8 ppm, & selenium (Se)- 0.2 ppm. Although the above metals here are not believed to pose a concern for plant growth,
continue to monitorthese and note where elevated above background levels. Note any lime and fertilizer recommendations. Where soil test phosphorus (P) is very high (P-t
a 100), crops will not respond to additional P applied. Note soil test recommendations. David H. Hardy Soil Testing, NCDA&CS 919-664-1606 311312023

Nutrient Management Plan for5eptage Application
Heber Hudson Road application site
A. General information
i. Periodic 5arrpiing of the septage will be conducted for waste analysis at
least once per year.
ii. The site contains approximately 30 acres and is split between two fieids
according to the F5A map.
iii. septage will not be applied where the site is u ntraffica b le (defined as soil
that will allow a loaded truck to leave a depression in sod greater than 3
inches in depth,)
iv. When land application is not suitable at this site, the septage wi11 be
disposed at the treatment facility owned by the City of Greenville I+IC,
8, Crops to be grown and approximate planting times,
i. The site is established in hybrid bermudagrass.
ii, In October or early November each year, the bermudagrass will be
overseeded with a small grain at a drilled seeding rate of 1001bs/acre,
iii. Any areas that have less than 80% ground cover by hybrid hermudagrass
will be seeded with Cheyenne bermudagrass at a Inraadcast seeding rate
of 15lbs/acre.

D. A rotation will he established so that each section does not receive septage within
30days of harvest.
Soil Erosion Plan
Subm4ted by:
i, The site will be covered with vegetation (hyb(id berm ud agrass, or hybrid
berm udagrass overseeded with a small grain).
ii. Buffer areas will be planted in bermudagrass/small grain,
Ali. Erosion and runoff should be controlled by the vegetation.

Preliminary Soil and Site Evaluations on Properties
For Land Application of Septage
Performed for
Mills' Septic Tank Service
September 13, 2022

Preliminary Report (Pitt County Site)
On September 9, 2022, a preliminary soil and site evaluation was performed on property in Pitt
County (2226 Heber Hudson Rd, Greenville, NC). The purpose of the investigations was to
determine the area of land that would be suitable for land application of septage. An auger was
used to create boreholes and soil properties including texture, structure, and color were noted
as soil was excavated with the auger. A Munsell color chart was used to quantify soil colors. For
the Pitt County property, an estimated 8.7 acres of land would be suitable for land application of
septage if the home on the property is used as an office (100 ft setback) and not as a rental
property (500 ft setback). Less than 8 acres would be available for land application if the existing
home on the Pitt County property is not occupied by the owners. The main limitation for this site
was the depth to low chroma colors, an indicator of soil wetness. For Group II soils, like the ones
on this property, the depth to the water table or water table indicators must be 24 inches or
more. The area delineated on the map shows the boundaries of the useable area for land
application of septage. It may be possible that an additional acre of land (up to 9.7 acres) would
accommodate septage application if the existing ditch that runs southwest through the property
is successful in lowering the water table. Observation of groundwater depths in the area between
50 and 100 ft on either side of the ditch banks during the typical wet season could be used to
determine actual groundwater depths. Based on the current information available, a maximum
of 8.7 acres would be suitable for land application of septage.

Figure showing the estimated useable area for land application of septage in orange. The lighter
blue overlain on the orange is the area that would not be allowable for septage application if the
home is not occupied by the owners.

Preliminary Report (Craven County Site)
On September 9, 2022, a preliminary soil and site evaluation was performed on a property in
Craven County (795 Pollard Swamp Rd, Vanceboro, NC). The purpose of the investigation was to
determine the area of land that would be suitable for land application of septage. An auger was
used to create boreholes and soil properties including texture, structure, and color were noted
as soil was excavated with the auger. A Munsell color chart was used to quantify soil colors. The
main limitation for this site was the depth to low chroma colors, an indicator of soil wetness.
For Group III soils, like the ones on this property, the depth to the water table or water table
indicators must be 18 inches or more. There is some uncertainty as to the classification of the
drainage feature in the central portion of the property. The feature did not have any water
present during the investigation or after a rain event observed a few days later. The feature was
overgrown with weeds and shrubs. The feature did not seem to be connected to a receiving
body of water, and it was not apparent which direction if full, the feature would flow. For the
Craven County property, an estimated maximum of 9.1 acres of land may be suitable for land
application of septage. That maximum assumes that the drainage feature in the middle of the
property is not considered a stream or groundwater lowering ditch. If the feature is considered
a stream, then the maximum area for land application of septage would be reduced to 7.9
acres. Both scenarios include using the prior homesite area for land application, and thus no
office use would be allowed there. There may be other locations on the property though that
would accommodate an office and meet the 100 ft setback though.

blue overlay is the area that would not be allowable for septage application if the drainage
feature is considered a stream.
