fields shall be overseeded in rye, wheat, small grain mix, or annual ryegrass in September
or October. The planting and harvesting of the crops shall follow the approved nutrient
management plan. Areas that develop less than 80% cover in Bahiagrass will be re-
seeded in Bahiagrass as noted in the approved nutrient management plan. The 30-day
waiting period between the last application of septage, and the harvest of a crop shall be
met by alternating septage applications between the fields or utilizing an alternative
disposal location such as a permitted septage detention facility or wastewater treatment
plant. All discharges shall occur within the permitted area and shall be consistent with
the crop rotation in the approved plan.
3. This site shall be operated and maintained in accordance with the erosion and runoff
control plan, see Attachment A, submitted by Greg Lyons in such a manner as to prevent
the migration of wastes off the designated waste receiving site. Any site improvements
noted in the plan must be installed within 30 days of plan approval. The installation of
groundwater monitoring wells shall be required as deemed necessary by the Division.
4. The issuance of this permit does not preclude the Permittee from complying with any
and all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by other local,

UTRIE GEMENT PLAN FOR
SEPTAGE APPLICATIONS TO BAHIAGRASS
On "ERSEEDED WITH SMALL GRAIN
A. General Information:
1. Periodic sampling (at least three (3) times per year) of the septage for waste analysis is
recommended.
2. 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.
3. This site contains approximately 9.8 acres divided into 2 fields for septage applications. Field B
contains approximately 3.0 acres and Field C contains approximately 6.8 acres. The attached
copy of the aerial photograph for the site shows field boundaries and identifications.
4. The dominant soil series on the site is Cecil.
5. 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).
6. All nitrogen recommendations for forages will be 75% of the realistic yield expectation nitrogen
rate should the forage be grazed.
7. 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. Crop information:
1. Both fields have been established in Bahiagrass.
2. Both fields will be overseeded with cereal rye, wheat, or small grain mix ("winter overseed")
between September 1 and October 31 at an approximate rate of 120 Ibs/acre (broadcast) or 100
Ibs/acre (drilled). As a substitute, annual ryegrass may be planted at a rate of approximately 30
to 40 lbs/acre (broadcast) or 20 to 30 lbs/acre (drilled). Failure of not reaching 80% crop
coverage may require reseeding of the overseed.
3. Areas that develop less than 80% crop coverage of Bahiagrass will be reseeded with
Bahiagrass at an approximate rate of 15 to 25 Ibs/acre (broadcast) or 10 to 20 Ibs/acre (drilled)
between April and June.
4. Maintaining soil fertility levels for optimal crop production, spreading septage evenly across the
fields, and following harvesting recommendations help with controlling weeds. Should weeds
become an issue, contact your local County Cooperative Extension Service and/or the most
recent North Carolina Agricultural Chemical Manual for using herbicides to control weeds.

NOTE: Cumulative application rate is not to exceed the permitted application rate. Annual
application rate is not to exceed 50,000 gallons per acre. The plant available nitrogen amount
in septage is estimated to be approximately 2.6 lbs N / 1,000 gal.
E. Application Method
The preceding information is based on septage being evenly applied over the entire permitted site
using a pumper truck with spreader spoon.

Nutrient Management Plan for Septage Applications to Bahiagrass Overseeded with Small Grain
Page 3 of 4
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 phosphorus and potassium may be needed for
optimum plant growth. Except for 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. 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. Harvest of the crops and their use:
1. The Bahiagrass will be cut as hay and baled whenever it reaches approximately 8 to 12
inches in height, or roughly every 4 to 6 weeks beginning in June. This should allow for
approximately three harvests per year.
2. The small grain or annual ryegrass will be cut as hay and baled in March or April of each year
from Fields 1 and 2, respectively. A second cutting may be needed before or during May each
year.
3. A 30-day waiting period must be observed between the last application of septage and harvest.
The 30-day waiting period between the last application of septage, and the harvest shall be
managed by alternating between the two fields, storage within the permitted detention tank, or
disposal at another permitted facility such as a wastewater treatment plant. Before September
15th, both fields will have been harvested so that the small grain or annual ryegrass can be
overseeded into the Bahiagrass.
4. The hay will be used for animal feed.
5. If grazing is desired, a three -field rotation is recommended for ease of meeting the 30-day
waiting period. The rotation is
such that Field 1 is grazed while Field 2 is undisturbed, and
Field 3 receives septage. After 30 days, Field 2 will be grazed while Field 3 left undisturbed
and Field 1 receives septage.
After 60 days, Field 3 is grazed while Field 1 is undisturbed,
and Field 2 receives septage.
After 90 days, the rotations repeat with Field 1 being grazed.
The pattern would go as follows:

Page 4 of 4
SOIL EROSION AND RUNOFF CONTROL PLAN
Given that slopes on this site do not exceed five percent, a 50 foot buffer, planted in Bahiagrass
overseeded with small grains or ryegrass, 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).
