The cleared field contains 10.5 useable acres and the useable wooded section (occurring in 2 separate areas) contains a total of 5.64 acres. The attached copy of the aerial photograph for the site shows field boundaries and identifications. 2. The dominate soil series for both the field and wooded areas is Casville sandy clay loam, 2-8 percent slopes, eroded. 3. The limiting nutrient designed for the site is nitrogen. a. Cleared field: The RYE for the cleared field is 4 tons/acre for fescue hay with an N factor of 44 pounds per ton of yield, equaling an N rate of 176 pounds N/acre. Note that this is RYE is for uneroded Casville soils, and as such a reduction of 5% of the RYE is recommended, lowering the N rate to 167 pounds N/acre. At a standard septage rate of 2.6 pounds N/1000 gallons, this equates to a septage application rate of 64,230 gallons per acre per year. The calendar year for fescue starts July 1 and ends June 30. Note that an application rate of 50,000 gallons per acre can only be exceeded with prior approval from Solid Waste Division and with management from a certified land application operator. Septage application to cleared, fallow fields prior to planting is generally limited to row crop fields. Thus, the fescue crop must be established prior to septage application. 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). As these soils are well drained with good surface and internal drainage, that should only occur after heavy and prolonged periods of rain or snow. 5. All nitrogen recommendations for forages will be 75% of the realistic yield expectation nitrogen rate should the forage be grazed. Thus -the grazing rate is 0.75 x 167#N/acre=125 pounds N/acre-year which equates to 48,000 gallons septage per acre per year. 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. B. Crops to be grown and approximate planting times: 1. The cleared field, including buffer zones, will be seeded in tall fescue at a rate of 20- 25 Ibs seed/acre broadcast in September of 2010 in order to establish a permanent stand. A follow-up seeding may be required in March of 2011, pending yield and stand quality from the 2010 seeding. A thicker and more robust stand my be realized by increasing the seeding rate up to 40 Ibs/acre. If the preferred seeding method is drilling„ then 15-20 Ibs seed/acre are recommended, but better coverage can also be realized by increasing this rate. The recommended fertilizer and lime as per the NCDA&CS soil test chould be applied prior to planting, and traffic minimized on the site. This may include restricting access to hunters who may damage and rut the site with their vehicles. if a broadcast seeding method is used,, very light tillage and /or cultipacking is necessary to establish good seed -soil contact. Areas that develop with less than 80% groundcover by fescue will be re -seeded with fescue at a rate of 15-20 Ibs seed/acre broadcast (Sept. -Oct.) This seed should not be tilled, but depending on moisture status, a light rolling may be needed. Further advice may be sought through the Cooperative Extension Service or NCDA&CS regional agronomist. C. Limiting Nutrient application rate for crops grown: 1) Cleared field -RYE=Realistic Yield Expectations Crop RYE Limiting Nutrient APP. Rate Ibs N acre Tall fescue hay 4.0 tons/acre x 44 Ibs N/dry ton =176 Reduction for past erosion of 5% 0.95 x 176 =167 Reduction if grazed: 0.75 x 167 = 125 D. Relative aprlication rates for cleared field and wooded site: Month _ Site Cleared January Low February Medium March High April High May Medium June Low July Low August Low September Medium October Medium November Medium December Low Description of terms: None=O gallons: Low=5000 gallons: Medium=10,000 gallons; High=15,000 gallons. These are maximum application amounts, per acre per month. Cumulative yearly application rate is not to exceed the permitted application rate. E. Application method The preceding information is based on septage being evenly applied over the entire permitted site by broadcast septage application. Should there be an interest in injecting or incorporating the septage, the application rates will be lowered and must be adjusted. Septage injection must be performed with special equipment so as to not injure the crop stand. Discuss this option with the Solid Waste Management staff prior to investing in injection equipment. F. Additional Fertility Requirements(not including the limiting nutrient from the waste stream Nitrogen, phosphorus and / or potassium will be added in accordance with the soil test results for the crops grown in order to achieve realistic yield expectations based on the soil at the land application site and nutrient loading rates. Soil pH shall be amended as recommended in the soil test report. PLEASE NOTE THAT LIME -AMENDED SEPTAGE WILL RAISE SOIL pH. YOU SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR SOIL pH AND ALSO HAVE THE SEPTAGE CHECKED FOR ITS LIME VALUE TO INSURE THAT THE SOIL pH DOES NOT BECOME TOO HIGH. THE COST OF SEPTAGE ANALYSIS FOR LIME VALUE IS CURRENTLY $10.00 WITH THE NCDA&CS LABORATORY. The buffer areas should be fertilized with approximately 120 Ibs/acre/year of N„ 40 Ibs/acre/year of P2O5, and 80 Ibs/acre/year of K2O or based on soil test results(sample the buffer areas separately for future soil testing). G. Harvest of the crops and their use: 1. The fescue will be cut as hay and baled whenever it reaches approximately 12 inches in height or just before seed head emergence. This will usually take place in late May and again in September or October. At lease three fescue harvests will be made each year depending on environmental conditions. 2. A 30-day waiting period must be observed between the last application of septage and harvest. 3. The hay will be sold to a local farmer to feed his beef cows and horses. SOIL EROSION AND RUNOFF CONTROL PLAN This site is to be managed in permanent fescue grass and woodland. The maximum slope on the cleared field is 12 percent. This occurs in the northeastern corner of the field. Downslope grassed buffer will exceed 200 feet as the 500-foot home setback extends well into the field. The remainder of the field has complex topography with slopes ranging mainly from 4 to 8 percent. Surrounding the field, the required 5- foot grassed buffer will be maintained. Further, the closest intermittent surface water is over 100 feet into the woods. The wooded areas, should they be used, are limited to ridges with gentle slopes of 1 to 4 percent. Despite the fact that, sufficient erosion control should be experienced with permanent fescue cover, the operator/site manager is strongly encouraged to use judgement in deciding when and where to apply septage. The steeper slopes should be saved for the driest periods. If there is a chance of forthcoming rain within 24-48 hours, the manager should use the slopes less than 6 percent or the wooded areas. The quality of the fescue stand should dictate when and how much septage to be applied. Lighter applications are warranted when the nutrient management plan calls for low applications or when the threat of septage runoff off the site is higher. The operator should calibrate and test the spreading equipment such that they are familiar with speeds and settings to apply appropriate application rates. Regular review of the fescue stand quality is critical to maintain forage health and adequate erosion control. At the first sign of plant stress, both soil tests and plant tissue analyses are encouraged to provide for sound management decisions. The fescue should be fertilized with septage and / or commercial fertilizer to maintain a good sod base across the application area and in buffer areas.

Weed control may be needed in order to maintain AM groundcover and to produce the realistic yield expectations foe the approved cropstand. Weed control may be obtained through different methods (mowing or herbicides) or a combination of methods. For specific recommendations, proper identification of the weed or weeds is necessary. The local cooperative extension agent or regional agronomist may be contacted for advice.
