These fields are utilized for fescue hay production and a little light grazing. The fields have been buffered to exclude areas of slope, property lines, houses, creeks, drainage, wells, and roads. Field investigations performed by a BR&S soil scientist concurred for the most part with the mapping published in the McDowell County Soil Survey. The area mapped as Iotla in Fields 1 and 2 was likely an inclusion of Braddock soil. Iotla soils were found near the creek in an area that was excluded due to buffering. Fields 3 and 4 are Hayesville soil series. Detailed soil profile descriptions from the investigations have been attached. Soil samples from North Carolina Department of Agriculture NCDA are attached and are delinquent in phosphorus and potassium but are otherwise suitable for application. These fields should receive nitrogen applications in accordance with the rates specified in the standard DWQ permit shell. Soil Scientist / N wo J • rieu HcC2 a, o HcC2 HeD Br82 G{ HcC2.

CITIZENS FOR OVER 50 YEARS McDowell Count Agronomist Comments: C 12, The heavy metal report is found on a separate report. Using Mehlich 3 as a soil test extractant, background levels of these metals typically seen in soils at waste application sites in NC are as follows: arsenic (As)- 5.5 ppm, cadmium (Cd)- 0.1 ppm, chromium (Cr)- 0.2 ppm, lead (Pb)- 2.8 ppm, nickel (Ni)- 0.6 ppm, & selenium (Se)7 0-1 ppm, Although the above metals here are not believed to pose a concern for plant growth, continue to monitor these and note where elevated above background levels. Potassium and phosphorus levels are low in sample 02. Note the fertilizer recommendations specific to each area. Where soil test phosphorus (P) is very high (P-1 > 100), crops will not respond to additional P applied. Where the sulfur index (S-1) is less than 30, sulfur at a rate of 20 to 25 lb per acre may be of benefit. The high pH in sample 04 can limit the availability of essential plant nutrients especially manganese and iron; see NOTE $ for additional information on that topic. Brenda R.

These fields are located on the east and west of Muddy Creek Road near the Patten community in McDowell County. Fields 13A and 13B are used for fescue and small grain hay production. The remaining fields are adjacent to the South Muddy Creek and are used for row crop production. According to the owner, the row crop fields have had better surface ditches installed several years ago helping to prevent flooding. The fields have been buffered to exclude areas of slope, property lines, houses, creeks, drainage, wells, and roads. Field investigations performed by a BR&S soil scientist concurred for the most part with the mapping published in the McDowell County Soil Survey. The row crop fields are mapped as Iotla and have seasonal restrictions and Fields 13A and 13B are mapped as Hayesville soils. My investigations and soil profile descriptions concur with the soil survey. Detailed soil profile descriptions from the investigations have been attached. Soil samples from North Carolina Department of Agriculture NCDA are attached and indicate soils nutrient levels that are suitable for application. The soil pH for these fields is high and should not receive additional lime until specified in the soil test report. These fields should receive nitrogen applications in accordance with the rates specified in the standard DWQ permit shell. Soil Scientist / $W J" J� Field Q-10 p N"!�-"V W.

CITIZENS FOR OVER 50 YEARS McDowell County Greensboro NC 27407 Agronomist Comments: The heave metal report is found on a separate report. Using Mehlich 3 as a soil test extractant, background levels of these metals typically seen in soils at waste application sites in NC are as follows: arsenic (,As)- 5.5 ppm, cadmium (Cd)- 0.1 ppm, chromium (Cr)- 0.2 ppm, lead (Pb)- 2.8 ppm, nickel (Ni)- 0.6 ppm, � selenium (Se)- 0.1 ppm. Although the above metals here are not believed to pose a concern for plant growth, continue to monitor these and note where elevated above background levels (see elevated arsenic level in sample 21). Note the lime and fertilizer recommendations specific to each area and apply according to the information in NOTES 3 and 12. Where soil test phosphorus (P) is very high (P-I > 100), crops will not respond to additional P applied. See NOTE $ for additional information regarding manganese availability where soil pH is above 6.2. Brenda R.
