r7ANLYSIS <br /> lyze 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 /> Vofessi"/) <br /> Respectfully submitted, z� 1).
