i <br /> ANALYSIS <br /> To analyze the amount nitrogen from the on-site manure generation that any receiving cropland can <br /> assimilate,actual samples were obtained from goat and chicken manures. There are no cattle presently <br /> on the subject property. Therefore,manure samples could not be obtained. Book values were used <br /> below. Sheep and goats are similar in manure nitrogen content and production. <br /> TABLE 1 <br /> ANIMAL MANURE NITROGEN FRACTIONS(As Tested) <br /> PRODUCTION <br /> PER YEAR NITRATE ORGANIC AMMONIA TOTAL <br /> (Est.)

These nitrogen production calculations from <br /> manure are based upon the maximum number of animals,year-round. Animal populations will not be at <br /> the stated maximum all year,thus incorporating a significant safety factor. <br /> If there should be any questions regarding this document, please contact the undersigned. <br /> Qtofess}o <br /> Respectfully submitted, 0111 Olt <br /> C'6 ,, <br /> CHESNEY CONSULTING Y q °w <br /> No.7S479 <br /> co <br /> ti <br /> Don Che ney, PE `ffaf Civil 9Na <br /> Registered Civil En neer#C75479 e of Cali{° <br /> Certified Crop Advisor, Manure Management and Regis ere itrogen Management Plan Specialist#341829 <br /> Licensed Agricultural Pest Control Advisor#74363 <br /> Page-2- <br /> Chesney Consulting <br />
