Understanding the Waste Report
Nutrient Measurements are reported in mg/kg or mg/L for samples analyzed as solids or liquids, respectively. Nitrogen and carbon results are measured on an as -received basis for
manures and manure -based composts and on a dry -weight basis for all other waste types. All other elements and calcium carbonate equivalent (CCE) are measured on a dry -weight
basis.
Conversion factor: Fertilizer grade (%) = mg/kg or mg/L = 10,000
The Estimate of Nutrients Available for First Year are reported on an as -received (wet weight) basis for all elements in lb/ton or Ib/1000 gal. The nitrogen estimate depends on the
manure type and application method that you specify on the submission form and accounts for the fact that only 40-60% of the manure nitrogen becomes available within one year of
application. All other elements and nitrogen from non -manure waste sources are reported as 100% available in the first year of application.
Conversion factors: lb/ton x 4.17 = Ib/1000 gal.; Ib/1000 gal. x 0.24 = lb/ton
ALE is Agricultural Lime Equivalence. The ALE
