Dear Mr. Pinter

MOORESWLLE REGIONAL OFFICE
I have received notice that I failed to provide samples for waste applied this past summer. I try to
take samples by running the irrigation system over buckets where I catch waste as it is applied to
the fields and monitor application rate. This summer, there were various accidents that prevented
me from getting a good sample, and I apologize. I put off taking a sample out of the top of the
pond thinking I would be running the system again, but equipment failure prevented me from
applying waste until this fall, when I sent in a sample soon after applying waste and calibrating
the equipment.
In the future, I will simply dip some out of the pond and send it in.
I was annoyed, however, that when sending a sample in, I was not able to find an up-to-date fee
schedule. After sending the sample, I received notice that they would not release results until I
paid more money for predictive testing, which we have not previously paid. I checked with the
web -site, and fee amounts were absent from the downloadable copy.
(htti)://www.ncagr.Gov/aRTonomi/pdffiles/iswaste.pd )
The two liquid samples I sent in in November were 0.41 and 0.46 lbs./1000 available N. Was
using a guesstimate of Ilbs. N for my calculations and will downgrade my fertility levels
accordingly.
These samples average 21bs. potassium and 0.6 lbs./1000 phosphorus.
Thank you,
