Soil Amendments Sample Clauses
The SOIL AMENDMENTS clause defines the requirements and standards for any materials added to soil to improve its physical or chemical properties. It typically specifies the types of amendments permitted, such as compost, fertilizers, or lime, and may outline application rates, quality standards, and timing for their use on a project site. This clause ensures that soil amendments are used appropriately to promote healthy plant growth and prevent the introduction of contaminants, thereby supporting successful landscaping or agricultural outcomes.
Soil Amendments. The cost for routine soil amendments shall be billed separately and on as needed basis. Contractor shall obtain approval prior to applyingamendments.
Soil Amendments. 1 Fertilizer: industry accepted standard medium containing nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and any other micro-nutrients suitable to the specific plant species or application or defined by the soil test.
Soil Amendments. The LGMA metrics have specific requirements for the soil amendments used in the production of leafy green crops, the treatment processes such amendments must receive and the sampling and testing requirements for pathogens. The LGMA audit includes 18 checkpoints on soil amendments. 09/10 2 0 1 22 10/11 3 0 11/12 4 0 0 12/13 1 0 0 13/14 2 0 Flagrant Minor Deviations In 2013/14 two Major Deviations were cited in the area of Soil Amendments. The first citation was issued because the auditor was not able to verify that no soil amendment containing fully composted animal manure was applied to the field within the last year. The second citation was issued because process validation records were not available at the time of the audit. In the first instance, records linking compost applied to field were not available for review. Subsequently, it was determined that the compost was made on-site, but records were not clear as to production and application. The product was tested and found in compliance with LGMA, and new procedures were implemented by the handler to improve record keeping and storage of same.
Soil Amendments. A. Lime: Application rates for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ materials and lime material type chosen shall be determined by required soil tests and approved by the Project Officer in coordination with the Landscape Architect or Urban Forester.
a. When required and unless test results indicate otherwise, lime material shall be dry and free flowing pulverized limestone, hydrate lime or burnt lime that contains at least 50% total oxides (calcium oxide plus magnesium oxide). Ground limestone shall be ground to such fineness that at a minimum of 50% will pass through a 100 mesh sieve and 98% - 100% will pass through a 20 mesh sieve. Lime material shall meet the Virginia Agricultural ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Materials Act, Code of Virginia Section 3.1-126.1.
Soil Amendments. (a) Apply lime, sulpher, or other soil amendment at a rate determined and recommended from planting medium sample test.
(b) Mix soil amendment well into full depth topsoil prior to application of fertilizer.
Soil Amendments. The levels of acceptable trace contaminants in ash (plant and animal) from off-farm sources now have to meet the category C1 requirements outlined in Environnement Quebec’s “Guidelines for beneficial use of fertilizing residuals” ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇/ matieres/mat_res-en/fertilisantes/critere/index.htm. For arsenic (13 mg/kg), cadmium (3 mg/kg), chro- mium (210 mg/kg), copper (400 mg/kg), lead (150 mg/kg) and mercury (0.8 mg/kg). The bone meal annotation duplicates the specified risk material requirements outlined in the CFIA’s Fertilizer Regulation and states “Permitted only if guaranteed free of specified risk materials including the skull, brain, trigeminal ganglia (nerves attached to the brain), eyes, tonsils, spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia (nerves attached to the spinal cord) of cattle aged 30 months or older; and the distal ileum (portion of the small intestine) of cattle of all ages.” All bone meal sold in Canada probably complies with this regulation. It’s important to recognize that the requirement to use organic alfalfa meal and pellets if commer- cially available extends to blended fertilizers con- taining alfalfa. The same would be true with oil seed meals and fertilizers containing oil seed meals. An entry for oil seed meals was added to this section during the amendment process as an allowed input. Clarification has been added to the cannery wastes origin and usage requirements saying that the source must be organically grown or composted as outlined under the “Composting feedstocks” entry. Ethoxyquin is now clearly prohibited as a fish-based soil amendment product preservative. Sulphuric acid has been added so it can be used to adjust the pH of fish-based products, but it is identified as the least preferred chemical following; organic vinegar, organic citric acid, and phosphoric acid. Mined sulphate of potash magnesia, langbeinite has been added as allowed. The compost entry has been divided into 4 categor- ies: composting feedstocks; compost produced on the farm; compost obtained from off-farm sources; and compost tea. Regarding composting feedstocks, clarification has been added to assure all animals manures destined to be composted comply with the source requirements laid out in paragraph 5.5.1 of CAN/ CGSB-32.310 (the Principles). Forestry plant and plant by-products have also been added, as well as soils and minerals complying with this standard, are acceptable as composting feedstocks. The most important new composting feedstock ...
Soil Amendments. Section 8-02.3(6) is supplemented with the following: (******) Soil amendments at the Compost Amended Vegetated Filter Strips (CAVFS) shall meet the requirements of fine compost under Standard Specification Section 9-14.4(8) and shall be installed as shown in the Contract Plans. After placement of the compost, the Contractor shall incorporate the layer uniformly into top soil to a depth of twelve (12) inches. Roll to compact soil to 85% maximum density.
Soil Amendments. A. General: Refer to DPWSS, Section 1007.04 - Soil Amendment.
Soil Amendments. Every participant must install soil amendments appropriate to the particular hydrozone landscape plans and the native soils of the site, unless such soil amendments are deemed unnecessary based on soil testing results or the informed opinion of a professional engineer, licensed landscape architect, or other qualified professional, such as, but not limited to, a certified professional agronomist (CPAg), a certified horticulturist, or a Colorado State University Certified Master Gardener. Prior to the issuance of a hydrozone irrigation tap, a participant must execute and submit to the city a soil amendment affidavit, in a form approved by the director, describing the soil amendments installed to each area of the landscape or attesting to an informed opinion or soil testing results that soil amendments were unnecessary for the particular landscape or areas of the landscape.
