Methods for Disposal of Agricultural Solids and Liquids Crop land applications of liquid waste: Application of agricultural waste in the form of liquids mixed with pumped irrigation water must be applied with caution. The soil types of the area all have a slow permeability rate offering susceptibility to nmoff Nutrient laden water from the irrigation pond should be tested for nitrogen content with a portable test tat to calculate the correct ratio of clear water to be pumped prior to each irrigation cycle. The irrigation Process is one of 24 hours a day, so an evaluation of the nutrient water needs to be evaluated periodically as the lagoon levels drop to be sure that the nutrient content does not change substantially during the Processes. Adjust nutrient applications in relationship to the maturity of the crops Crop land applications of manure solids: The soil at this site has a slow permeability rate and a relatively low pH. Good agricultural practices dictate that manure solids can be applied to this soil to build up its organic content and moderate its pH. The benefit from solids applied and incorporated into the soil via discing or plowing will increase both the water holding capacity,tilth, percolation rate and the ability to contain nitrate nitrogen in the anion enhance environment. It is recommended that the solids t_ o_ be applted to the cropland be comQosted to m;n;m;�e_Ille ampunt of iq`trogen applied to the fields due to an abtmdance of nitro gn available in the Ii form. Composting of the manure solids will condition the solids prior to application to the farms. Composting converts an organic waste material into a stable organic product by converting nitrogen from the unstable ammonia form to a more stable organic form. The end result is a product that is safer to use than mw organic material. t. Reference"Soil Surrey of San Joaquin County,California USDS SCS '�Western Design/David Avila 2000 28
