Product Information, Benefits, Safeguards and Farmland Application Procedures
Product Information Environmentally safe organic by-products
from food and paper production
Benefits to Agriculture and Soil Supplies organic matter and
beneficial soil microorganisms Improves soil structure and
porosity Decreases soil wind and water
erosion and runoff Enables soil to retain nutrients
longer Increases moisture infiltration Reduces need for chemical
fertilizers (groundwater protection) Reduces fertilizer costs to farmers
& timber owners Promotes open green space
Plant Nutrient Management
Nitrogen is a primary nutrient that makes plants really "grow."
Products are applied at precise application rates based on crop nutrient needs as specified in the site specific Nutrient Management Plan
Environmentally Safe Fertilizer
State Regulations Nationwide
agricultural/silvicultural use Research shows no evidence
of health risk or environmental threat
High-quality soil amendment that is treated and tested
Synagro Land Application Safeguards Assess the soil and crop needs Report actual application event
to permitting authorities Community sensitive operations Set and flag boundary areas
from dwellings, wells and roads In field monitoring by Synagro
and regulatory agencies Precise load and nutrient
tracking system
Synagro Land Application Procedures and Safeguards
Site and Field Characterization
Farmland Application Process and Management Practices
Monitoring and Reporting
Site and Field Characterization Map field using GPS readings Boundary areas clearly marked Obtain soil testing samples Establish regulatory buffers via
flagging Develop site-specific NMP Determine application rate Develop application schedule and
delivery details
Important Site Variables-Runoff Control and Buffers
Agronomic Calculations
Prior testing determines agronomic rate for the specific field given specific nature of materials
Composition of soil and material is tracked
Farmland Application Process Materials are delivered by
trucks Product applied day of
delivery (weather permitting)
The spreader and discharge is calibrated to deliver the agronomic rate on a per acre basis
Seeded and crop grown
Management Practices Water-tight and
covered transportation Community friendly
delivery times Management of off-site
tracking Load tracking using
Residuals Management System (RMS) to track each load delivered to a field
Monitoring and Reporting Check to ensure crops
are grown Regulatory agencies
and clients receive soil and load information as required
If there is a question, follow-up can be done immediately
