Nutrient Management Plan Guidelines for
Septage Application
SLAS#78-18
June 1, 2023
Applicator: Marshall Cummings Septic Tank Service
Marshall Cummings
1234 W. McDuffie Crossing Road
St. Paul's, NC 28384
[phone]
Landowner: Mary Bell Williams -Lisa
267 Erika Road
St. Paul's, NC 28384
A. GENERAL INFORMATION:
1. Periodic sampling of the septage for waste analysis content will occur at least three
times a year. Suggestions on sampling, forms and instructions have been provided to
the applicator.
2. Site disposal is Twelve acres located north off SR 1743, Covington Farm Road,
Southwest of Highway 20, West of St. Paul's at 1-95 Exit 31, in Robeson County. Dirt
access road is called Erika Drive. The proposed septage disposal site is part of the
large Farm Service Agency (FSA) tract T 7415
3. The dominant soil series at the site is predominantly (90%) Wakulla sand, marked
WkB on the soil survey amp. This is an excessively drained upland soil low in fertility
and organic matter content. It can quickly dry out. As a result, a permanent
vegetative cover is desired such as the summer "warm season" Bermuda Grass. This
can be overseeded with small winter annual grains for winter septage applications.
There is a small Section of Wagram loamy sand soil that does not alter
recommendations. The area has a 0-6 slope.
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 (ruts) in sod greater than
three inches deep.

5. 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. A "Detention Facility Permit" is needed or authorization to
discharge septage to a wastewater treatment facility permit.
B. CROPS TO BE GROWN AND PLANTING TIMES:
The TWELVE acres septage application field is sprigged hybrid Bermuda Grass (May
2022).
Winter small annual grans need to be overseeded about one inch deep each fall at
120 pounds of see per acre, in September of October — following the last harvesting
of Bermuda grass. When the Bermuda goes dormant in the fall due to cold weather,
it should have a height of 2-4 inches when overseeding with winter small grains. To
seed winter small grains, they can be drilled or run a straight disk across the field and
broadcast the grains so that it falls in the slits across the field and has contact with
the soil germination. Areas that develop with less than 80% groundcover by
Bermuda will be reseed ed/resprigged with Bermuda at a rate of approximately 40-60
bushels per/acre occurring during the planting season o9f April 11t -September 5th.
Unlike annual winter small grains, Bermuda is a warm season perennial and will not
have to be planted every year.
2. Subdivided septage application fields (left side and right side as you drive toward
the fields) will be cropped the same.
C. NITROGEN (N) NEEDS FOR CROPS GROWN:
RYE: Realistic Yield Expectations. N application rate based on RYE for soil type.
Crops will be cut and harvested for hay.
Crop RYE N app. Rate lbs. N/acre
Bermuda grass 5.0 tons/a 50lbs. N/ton yield 250
Annual winter grain (rye) --- straight 50 lbs. N/acre for the growing season (Oct./ Nov —
Mar./Apr.)
Total possible N application for field: 300 lbs. N/a/year
Which exceed the amount of N that permitted gallons of septage applied per acre can
supply (50,000 gallons septage maximum/acre/year time 2.6 lbs. of N/10000 gallons
"book value" equals 130 lbs. maximum N/a/year supplied by septage — 600,000
gallons minimum septage applied / yar to the 12 acres)

D. APPLICATION ROTATION/AMOUNTS FOR CUTTING FORAGE FOR HAY:
To be able to have a section (Left or Right side) of the permitted Twelve acres available
for septage application each month, the permitted area needs to be divided up into
two sections, Right Field (6.5 acres) /Left Field (5.5 acres). This is for rotation purposes
to allow for the 30 day "no septage application period" before harvesting (grazing or
hay).
The rotation is: application, idle 30 days, harvest; application, idle 30 days, harvest ---
for each section of the field. This rotation is also good agronomic practice.
If it was desired to cut and harvest the entire TWELVE acres at one time, the entire
Twelve acres would need to be left idle (no septage application) for 30 days before
cutting. Chart showing maximum application rates relative to the month (dependent
upon rainfall and soil d-fertility and crop yields):

Notes:

*Cumulative application rate is not to exceed the permitted application rate. Annual application
rate is not to exceed 50,000 gallons per acre.
*50,000 gallons/acre/year maximum (130 lbs. N/a)
600,000 gallons septage applied/year total for the TWELVE acres.
E. APPLICATION METHOD:
Septage will be evenly applied over the entire permitted site during the course of the
growing seasons by moving tank/truck splash plate. Use of stakes will mark areas
according to last and next applications based upon coverage width. About five feet of
overlap is recommended.
F. ADDITIONAL FERTILITY REQUIREMENTS:
1. Nitrogen from septage applications alone will not be enough to maintain good crop
yields. Commercial sources can be applied Not to exceed the maximum 300 lbs.
total N/ac/year (130 lbs. N/a/year is potentially supplied by maximum septage
applications, leaving 170 lbs. n/ac that can be purchased and applied to the crops).
2. Phosphorus and potassium must be added in accordance with the annual soil test
results for the crop grown Phosphorus requirement may be reduced in the permitted
site with continued septage applications. Otherwise the entire field can be treated
the same (including any buffer areas) concerning pH (liming), potassium and
phosphorus.
3. No buffer areas are withing the TWELVE designated permitted acres because of the
distance of the application field to potential wetland areas.
4. A target for pH is 6.0-6.5. For practical purposes, round up tons of lime application to
the nearest truck load. The pH and soil fertility will be monitored by collecting soil
samples every year. Fall is a good time.
The potassium level (K) is often low so muriate of potash (0-0-60) should be added.
Adding potash is important since the septage contains very little of this required plant
nutrient. If potassium is lacking, even with lime, nitrogen and phosphorus being added
for the septage, plant growth will be slowed, and yields depressed. If yields are
restricted by lack of potassium, lack of rainfall or a low pH (acidic soil), applied nitrogen
will not be used by the plant and there is the possibility that excess nitrogen could
escape the field if not taken up by plant roots. Soil test results give potassium
recommendations.
Soil test results indicated no need for phosphorous. With continued septage
applications, phosphorus levels should rise. Phosphorous application will be withheld,
monitored, and rechecked by soil test results.

Each year, fertilization will be according to the latest soil sample results. Soil samples
need to be monitored for cadmium, nickel, lead, selenium, chromium, and arsenic in
addition to routine test of copper, zinc, and other fertility indicators.
G. HARVEST OF CROPS AND USE:
1. The Bermuda grass will be cut and harvested as hay. Harvesting will be about every
one to two months depending on alternating septage application sites of the left and
right sides of the field. The amount of forage harvestable highly depends on
temperature, soil fertility and rainfall. The Bermuda grass will be cut as hay and
baled whenever it reaches approximately 12 inches in height. Or roughly every 4 to
6 weeks beginning in June. At least three harvests will be made for each field each
year.
2. The rye will be cut in late Fall if needed (10-12 inches high) and then again in ate
winter/early Spring before heading out (around March) so the Bermuda grass can
begin to green -up and grow.
3. A 30-day waiting period must be observed between the last application of septage
and harvest. Beginning about the first of March each year, septage will be applied
strictly to the Right Field while the rye on the Left Field is undisturbed for 30 days.
After 30 days the rye on the Left Field will be harvested and septage application
switched to Left field. After an additional 30 days, in late April to early May, the rye
will be harvested from Right Field. By early May, a rotation will be established which
can cycle every 30 to 45 days between the Bermuda grass harvest. By the end of
October, rye will have been planted and the entire site will be available for septage
application until the end of February the following year.
4. The septage applied forage will be harvested by contracting a third party to come in,
cut and harvest the hay for animal feed, or after purchase of own equipment.
SOIL EROSION AND RUNOFF CONTROL PLAN:
Given that the slopes on the site do not exceed 6%, the natural buffered areas on the down
slope side of the fields will suffice to prevent septage for migrating off the fields and/or into any
wetland's areas.
Permanent vegetative cover of Bermuda Grass also alleviates any anticipated problems, Refer to
setback map.
