i <br /> Methods For Disp G---.,of Agricultural Solids and Liquids: <br /> Crop land applications of liquid waste: <br /> Application.of agricultural waste in the form of liquids mixed with pumped irrigation water must be <br /> applied with caution.The soil types of the area all have a slow permeability rate offering susceptibility to <br /> runoff. <br /> Nutrient laden water from the irrigation pond should be tested for nitrogen content with a portable test <br /> kit to calculate the correct ratio of clear water to be pumped prior to each irrigation cycle. It the irrigation <br /> process is one of 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,an evaluation of the nutrient water needs to be evaluated <br /> periodically in relationship to the maturity of the crops <br /> Crop land applications of manure solids: <br /> The soil at this site has a slow permeability rate and a relatively high pH. Good agricultural practices <br /> dictate that manure solids can be applied to this soil to build up it's organic content and lower it's pH. <br /> The benefit from solids applied and incorporated into the soil via discing or plowing will increase both <br /> the water holding capacity,tilth,percolation rate and the ability to contain nitrate nitrogen in the anion <br /> enhance environment. <br /> It is recommended that the solids to be applied to the crop land be composted to minimize the amount of <br /> nitrogen applied to the fields due to an abundance of nitrogen available in the liquid form.Composting of <br /> the manure solids will condition the solids prior to application to the farms.Composting converts an <br /> organic waste material into a stable organio product by converting nitrogen from the unstable ammonia <br /> form to a more stable organic form. The end result is a product that is safer to use than raw organic <br /> material. <br /> ®Western Design/David Avila 1999 <br /> I <br /> 144iA 1 <br /> F <br /> i <br /> 1 <br /> I <br /> 22 <br />
