ATLANTIC OBX, INC.
NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR SLAS 27-19
SEPTAGE APPLICATIONS TO COASTAL BERMUDAGRASS AND RYE
A. General Information:
1. The septage disposal site is located off of SR1146 (Swains Lane) in Barco, NC
2. The 19.2-acre site has been combined into 1 field. Field 1 contains approximately 19.2 acres. The attached copy of
the aerial photograph for the site shows field boundaries and identifications.
3. The dominant soil series on the site is Conetoe (CnA).
4. Septage will not be applied where the site is untrafficable (untrafficable is defined as soil that will allow a loaded
truck to 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 the
forage be grazed.
6. 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 treatment plant, should be in place.
B. Crops Being Grown and Approximate Planting Times:
1. The fields has been established in Coastal Bermudagrass.
As a winter crop, the field will be overseeded annually with annual ryegrass or a small grain such as cereal rye or
wheat. The annual ryegrass will be seeded at a rate of 40 pounds per acre if broadcasted or 30 pounds per acre if
drilled. The small grain will be seeded 120 pounds per acre if broadcasted or 100 pound per acre if drilled. The
overseeding will take place during the months of September or October depending on weather conditions of the
given year.
2. If there is not an agronomically acceptable stand of bermudagrass (i.e., ground covered with bermudagrass stolons)
on at least 85% of the surface area of the site, then bermudagrass will be sown in those areas in the following spring
unless the determination of poor stands is made prior to or at the time of planting for bermudagrass of the current
year. The bare areas should be lightly till and reseeded at the rate of 6-8 pounds per acre of Cheyenne or Wrangler
bermudagrass seed (i.e., 0.2 pounds of seed per 1,000 square feet).

E. Application Method
The preceding information is based on septage being evenly applied over the entire site by a pumper truck with a splash
pan or a hose reel equipped with a spray irrigation gun.
F. Additional Fertility Requirements
For optimum nitrogen uptake, the concentrations of other nutrients such as phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and
manganese must be sufficient as to not limit crop growth. Septage does not contain an adequate supply of all necessary
nutrients for crop growth. Therefore, supplemental addition of nutrients such as phosphorus, potassium, magnesium,
and manganese may be required. These additions should be based on soil test analyses. The soil samples should be taken
in late Fall or early Winter, so that the supplements can be added prior to the bermudagrass breaking dormancy, or the
small grain being planted. Do not follow the nitrogen recommendation from the soil test report. Use the nitrogen
amounts given in this nutrient management plan.
A separate soil sample should be collected for the buffer areas. Commercial fertilizer applications to the buffers are to be
based on the soil sample results.
G. Harvest of the Crops and Their Use
1. The bermudagrass will be cut for hay and baled whenever it reaches approximately 12 inches in height. The
bermudagrass should be cut and baled approximately 3 times throughout the growing season. The annual ryegrass or
small grain will be cut for hay and baled in April.
2. The winter overseed and bermudagrass will be harvested as hay and removed from site. If used for animal feed or
bedding, no septage applications can be made within 30 days of harvest. A 30-day waiting period must be observed
between the last application of septage and harvest for all material that is to be used as livestock feed or bedding.

H. Soil Erosion and Runoff Control Plan
Given that slopes on this site do not exceed five percent, a 50-foot buffer 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.
