Zoning Verification Letter
To Whom It May Concern,
Nash County Planning & Inspections Departments has reviewed your request for an approval
letter regarding a proposed septage land application site at PARID 100478/ PIN
273800927931 in the Al (Agricultural) District of Nash County, North Carolina. Assuming
that the proposed septage land application site will be used to provide nutrients to crops
located at the above mentioned site in accordance with an approved nutrient management
plan, the use of the site in this manor would be a bona fide farm purpose, and as such, would
be exempt from Nash County's zoning regulations.
Use of the property as a septage land application site must stay in accordance to North
Carolina General Statues regarding septage management
If you have any questions or if I can provide any further assistance, please contact me by
phone at (252) 459-1212 or by email at adam.culpepper(aD-nashcountync.gc

Nutrient Management Plan
for Frazier Road Nash County, NC
Sanders Septic
Phillip Sanders
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
Septage sampling (at least 1 time year) should be conducted for waste analysis. These
samples will be used to monitor nutrient loading.
from the permitted fields
1. Soil samples shall he taken every other year between September
and December. O� PI:�''y
contains 5.5 acres for septage application.
2. The 15.7-acre site has been partially cleared and the cleared active field
()' j%A
3. The dominant soil series for the entire site is the Georgeville soil ser�e.s.
4, Septage will not be applied when this site is untrafficable. This can be defined and
measured as a loaded truck will not leave a depression greater than 3 inches in depth.
5. All nitrogen recommendations will be Erased on the realistic yield expectations for the
site. This recommendation will be reduced to 751/1c, of the realistic yield expectation
nitrogen rate if the fields are ever grazed.
5. Septage will be lime stabilized. For domestic septage, the pH shall be raised to 12 or
higher by alkali addition and, without the addition of additional alkali, shall remain at 12
or higher for 30 minutes prior to land application. For grease septage, the pH shall be
raised to 12 or higher by alkali addition and, without the addition of additional alkali,
shall remain at 12 or higher for 2 hours prior to land application. Grease septage shall
be diluted with water or domestic septage when applied over perennial vegetation.
7. Septage storage will be provided to account far the average volume septage
pumped week, or an alternative plan, if needed disposal at a waste treatment plant, will
be in place-
B. CROPS TO BE GROWN:
The field has
1. recently been cleared of pine and mixed hard wood trees. () VV
The field
2. Ito be seeded in the fall with fescue.
3. Fescue is a cool season grass most of the nitrogen uptake is in the cooler months.
4. Planting recommendations:
a) Tall fescue can be planted from August 25 to October 25 or February 15 to
March 31 at a rate of 10 to 15 lbs/acre (drilled) or 15 to 20 Ibslacre

(broadcast). Typically, the best time to plant is from August 25 to September
15. Planting depth of % to % inch.
b) The first year Ryegrass may be planted from August 20 to October 31 at a rate
of 20 to 30 Ibs/acre (drilled) or 30 to 40 Ibs/acre (broadcast). Typically, the
best time to plant is from August 25 to September 15. Planting depth of % to
inch.
5. Should the crop coverage drop below 80%, replant those areas following the planting
recommendations above depending on the time of the year for which the crop needs to
be replanted.
6. Weed control is also important as to maintaining a crop. Different factors such as the
type of weed, stage of weed growth, density of weeds, weather conditions, etc. must be
considered to select the appropriate control measure. Contact your local County
Cooperative Extension Service or other qualified individual for assistance with weed
control recommendations.

The Georgeville soil type seems to be the dominate soil and Norfolk to a minor extent.
Values more toward the Georgeville rates seem appropriate since soil borings did not
encounter much Norfolk soils on the site. I suggest the following rates:

ibs N/ton Ibs Nacre
Mixed Cool Season grass 4.5 tons/acre X 44 = 198
(hay)
The application rate of 198 Ibs Nacre was determined be a reasonable nitrogen rate.
Figuring the nitrogen concentration t❑ be around 2.6 Ibs N/1,000 gals, it would take about
76,000 gallons of septage to reach 198 Ibs N/acre. The standard application rate for septage
sites is 50,000 gal/ac/yr•

NOTE: Cumulative application rate is not to exceed the permitted application rate.
Annuai 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 permitted site
by broadcasting using a pump truck with a shove: spreader-
F. ADDITIONAL FERTILITY REQUIREMENTS:
Page 3 of 4
G
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.
The buffer areas will be fertilized with N-P-K fertilizer and limed to maintain production
based on soil test results.
HARVEST OF THE CROPS AND THEIR USE:
1. For fescue, cut the forage as hay and bale whenever it reaches approximately 12 to 18
inches in height or roughly every 5 to 8 weeks beginning in May. At least two to three
harvestings can be expected per year.
A 30-day waiting period must be observed between the last application of septage and
the harvest of the crop as hay. The 30 day waiting period may be meet by rotating
applications, waiting period, and harvests between the fields. Also, the use of the
permitted detention tanks or another approved disposal location can help with meeting
the 30-day waiting period.
1 The bales of hay will be sold or given to a local farmer as feed for animals.
SOIL EROSION AND RUNOFF CONTROL PLAN
Both Fields NE and 5W are continuous with at least a 50 ft woodland or grassed buffer between the
waste application fields and the streams or property lines. This riparian buffer will suffice to prevent
septage from migrating off the fields into the streams or other properties. A 100 ft. grassed buffer
will be maintained along US Hwy 54 and the waste application Fields A and B. This grass buffer
should suffice to prevent septage from migrating off the field onto other properties or into streams.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban
planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nres/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nres) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/portal/nres/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nres142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous
areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous
areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and
limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,
and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and
native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil
profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The
profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the
soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is
devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other
biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource
areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that
share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water
resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey
areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that
is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the
area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind
of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and
miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific
segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they
were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict
with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a
specific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented
by an understanding of the soil -vegetation -landscape relationship, are sufficient to
verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them
to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character
of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
5
Custom Soil Resource Report
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a
unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components
of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way
diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such
landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite
investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape,
and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the
soil -landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at
specific locations. Once the soil -landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller
number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.
These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color,
depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for
content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil
typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists
interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field -observed
characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the
soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through
observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.
Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new
interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other
sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of
specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management
are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on
such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over
long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,
soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will
have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict
that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and
0

identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,
fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
11
Custom Soil Resource Report
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha
silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha -Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.
