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:

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.
