UMATILLA DEPOT ACTIVITY
I. INTRODUCTION
This document presents an Explanation of Significant Difference (ESD) from the Record of
Decision (ROD) for the Umatilla Depot Activity (UMDA) Explosives Washout Lagoons
Soils Operable Unit issued September 25, 1992. The ROD was signed by the United States
Army (U.S. Army), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the
Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) pursuant to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986. The site name and
location are as follows:
U.S. Army, Umatilla Chemical Depot Activity
Explosives Washout Lagoons Soils Operable Unit
Hermiston, Oregon-97838-9544
The U.S. Army, EPA, and ODEQ have approved the need for a significant difference action
from the ROD.
This ESD, prepared in accordance with Section 117(c) of CERCLA and 40 CFR
300.435(c)(2)(i), documents the significant differences to the selected remedy outlined in the
ROD. In summary, the significant difference from the selected remedy in the ROD is the
utilization of the treated soil as the organic component in the re-vegetation of several
designated sites on the installation rather than backfilling the former Explosive Washout
Lagoons with the compost.
The revision to the selected remedy is based on the following:
The extremely low remaining concentrations of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) and
Hexahydro-l,3,5-trinitro-l,3,5-triazine (Royal Demolition Explosive-RDX) in the treated
soil allow for a more beneficial use of the compost than simple backfill material.
Utilization of compost for on-site vegetative restoration will result in improved cost
performance of remedial technology.
This ESD officially documents the changes to the selected remedy in the ROD. This and
other relevant documents will become pan of the Administrative Record file pursuant to
Section 300.825 (a)(2) of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency
Plan (NCP). Copies of this ESD and the Administrative Record, are available to the public at
the specific information repositories listed below.

II. SUMMARY OF SITE HISTORY, CONTAMINATION, AND RECORD OF
DECISION
Umatilla Depot Activity (UMDA) is a 19,728-acre military facility located in northeastern
Oregon, on the border of Morrow and Umatilla counties (Figure 1). It was established as an
Army ordnance depot in 1941. Activities at the facility have included the storage of
chemical-filled munitions and containerized chemical agents and the disassembly, analysis,
modification, re-assembly, re-packing and storage of conventional munitions.
UMDA is currently slated for realignment under the Department of Defense (DoD) Base
Realignment and Closure (BRAC) program. If UMDA is approved for closure and the Army
vacates the site, the facility could be released to private interests for either light industrial or
residential use. Due to the historical activities at the site, environmental investigations
(including Preliminary Assessment and Remedial Investigation [RI]) were conducted in order
to identify areas of concern; characterize site conditions; and define the nature and extent of
contamination (Dames & Moore 1990 and 1992). The environmental investigations identified
the Explosives Washout Lagoons Soils Operable Unit at UMDA as an area of concern.
In the 1950s, UMDA operated an explosives washout plant on-site. Munitions were opened
and washed with hot water to remove and recover explosives such as TNT. The wash water
from the plant, generated during weekly cleanings, drained into two nearby lagoons
UMAESDI.DOC 9/30/97
-------
TO PENOUTON

-------
where it infiltrated into the soil. Prior to remediation, the south and north lagoons were 27
feet and 39 feet wide, respectively. Both lagoons were 80 feet long and 6 feet deep. During
the 15 year operation of the washout plant, approximately 85 million gallons of wash water
were discharged to the lagoons.
Although lagoon sludge was removed regularly during operation of the plant, explosives
contained in the wash water migrated into the soil and groundwater at the site. The
groundwater table is encountered approximately 47 feet below the lagoons. Because of the
.soil and groundwater contamination of the lagoons, the site was placed on EPA's National
Priorities List (NPL) in 1987.
The Army initiated a Remedial Investigation (RI) of the lagoons in 1987. The RI was used to
identify the types, quantities, and locations of contaminants and to develop ways of
addressing this contamination. The results of the RI and supplemental investigations are as
follows:
The sides of the lagoons and the surface and sub-surface soils below the lagoons were
contaminated with organic explosives and related compounds. The major contaminants
identified as posing potential future health risks were TNT, RDX, and 2,4-dinitrotoluene
(DNT). Other contaminants which were detected below levels of concern include the
following: 1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene (TNB), 2,6-Dinitrotoluene (2,6-DNT), Octahydro-
l,3,5,7-tetranitro-l,3,5,7-tetrazocine (High Melting Explosive-HMX), and Nitrobenzene
(NB).
Concentrations of explosives in the sides of the lagoons and the 5 feet of soil immediately
below the lagoons were 10 to 1,000 times higher than deeper soils. Explosives
concentrations are generally very low in the soil layer from 5 to 20 feet below the
lagoons. Below 20 feet, concentrations increase slightly by a factor of about 2 (still well
below near-surface soils) and remain steady to the groundwater table.
A groundwater plume of RDX contamination extends at least 1,000 feet away from the
lagoons. Other groundwater contaminants are seen in wells closer to the lagoons. The
contaminant plume is about 1 mile inside the facility boundary and is being remediated as
a separate Operable Unit.
Following the environmental investigation studies, a Human Health Baseline Risk Assessment
(Dames & Moore 1992) and Feasibility Study (FS) (CH2M Hill/Morrison Knudsen, 1992)
were conducted for the Explosives Washout Lagoons Soils Operable Unit. These evaluations
were conducted to define remediation goals and criteria and to identify, evaluate, and provide
the basis for selection of remediation alternatives for explosives contamination of the
Explosives Washout Plant. Upon review of the RI/FS, the U.S. Army, EPA, and ODEQ
selected a cleanup plan for the site utilizing windrow composting as the remedy for explosives
contaminated soils.
UMAESDI.DOC 9. JO/9?
-------
The major components of the selected remedy for the remediation of the Explosives Washout
Lagoons soils as stated in the ROD were as follows:
Construction of a roadway between the lagoons and the composting facility to transport
excavated and treated soils
Development of the composting facility on-site, including clearing and grubbing,
grading, and construction of asphalt pads and erection of storage and treatment buildings
Excavation of soils exceeding TNT or RDX concentrations of 30 mg/kg, excavation
included appropriate hazards monitoring and dust controls
Mixing contaminated soils with organic amendments (e.g., vegetable waste, straw,
manure) as appropriate and forming the mixture into windrows
Regularly turning the windrows with a windrow machine
Testing the finished compost for explosives
Backfilling the excavation with compost, covering with approximately 2 feet of clean soil
obtained from either on-site or off-site, grading, and re-vegetating
The completed project resulted in the excavation of 10,969 cubic yards of contaminated soils.
After the addition of amendments, the total volume of treated compost was 28,000 cubic
yards. The contaminated soil compost was placed in windrows within a treatment building
and turned daily. A total of 14 batches were treated with only two compost samples failing to
achieve the cleanup goals within 20 days. As of this writing, all of the above actions except
the last have been accomplished.
III. DESCRIPTION OF AND BASIS FOR THE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES
The preferred alternative to backfilling the Explosives Washout Lagoons with treated soil, as
stated in the ROD, is to utilize the compost for on-site vegetation restoration efforts. Viable
on-site areas identified for placement of the treated soil include disturbed areas around the
Explosives Washout Lagoons, the Ammunition Demolition Activity area, the Miscellaneous
Sites areas, the landfill cap and general facility locations along roads and buildings.
In agreeing on a cleanup plan for the Explosives Washout Lagoons site, the involved panics
assumed that soil concentrations of TNT and RDX following composting would achieve the
cleanup goal but still be high enough to render the soil unsuitable for other beneficial uses.
The cleanup level established in the ROD required reducing the concentration of RDX and
TNT in treated soils to 30 mg/kg. This level was established by risk based calculations that
assumed exposure to soils would be through dermal contact in a light industrial scenario.
However, the post-remediation results suggest that the concentrations of these compounds are
UMAESDI.DOC 9/30/97 5
-------
low enough to allow for future residential land use. Table 1 compares the concentrations of
the primary contaminants of concern with the risk based residential cleanup values for TNT
and RDX associated with a 1x10"* excess cancer risk. Values for all results are shown in
Appendix A. The percentage of compost samples that contained concentrations of explosives
below the Reporting Limits are also shown (Reporting Limits; TNT = 4 mg/kg, RDX = 2
mg/kg).

The Upper Confidence Level (UCL)' estimates that 90% of the data distribution is below the
UCL with 95% confidence. Calculation of the UCL resulted in a conservatively high value,
that is, one that is likely to overestimate the levels of TNT and RDX and thus lead to
management decisions which are protective of human health. First, the data set used to
calculate the UCL probably reported higher concentrations of explosives than actually
occurred in the compost when the material was removed from the treatment building.
Generally, a one to three week time period elapsed between sampling of a batch and the
reporting of analytical results. As a result, the reported concentrations of explosives did not
account for the continued biotransformation that occurred while samples were analyzed.
Second, for samples that were scored "non-detect," that is, for which the true value was less
than the reporting limit, one-half of the reporting limit was substituted. This manipulation
would tend to cause a high bias to the Upper Confidence Limit. Thus, the conservative upper
bound of the compost concentrations of RDX and TNT suggests unrestricted future use would
be protective.
The composting method selected does not significantly mineralize RDX and TNT, but
reductively biodegrades them into intermediates (such as poly-diamino-nitrotoluenes and
nitroso-RDX compounds) which covalently bind to soil organic components such as humus.
The reduction in concentrations of TNT and RDX reported following composting should
therefore be considered a reduction in the mobile or extractable fraction of the explosives
(Thorne and Leggett, 1997).
Low extractable concentrations of explosives are related to the lack of toxicity demonstrated
by composted soil. Griest et al. (1994) concluded that the reduction in extractable explosives
resulted in both reduced mutagenic activity and reduced toxicity. The mutagenic activity of
compost leachate was evaluated with the Ames Test (Ames, et al., 1975) while toxicity to
1 The Upper Confidence Limit for explosives in compost was calculated using the nonparametric
method described by Gilbert (1987, pp. 142). A nonparametric approach was required because the
data set did not conform to either a normal or lognormal distribution. Non detect values were
transformed to 1/2 the detection limit before calculation of the Upper Confidence Limit.

compost leachate was tested with a bioassay using the freshwater microcrustacean
Ceriodaphnia dubia in a protocol similar to EPA Method 1002.0 (Weber, et al., 1989).
Even untreated contaminated soils containing 10-30 mg/kg of TNT or RDX fail to produce
toxic effects in plants (Cataldo, et. al., 1989, Cataldo, et. al., 1990). The concentrations of
explosives measured in compost are far lower than this toxicity threshold.
Investigations conducted during pilot scale treatability studies using contaminated soils from
the Washout Lagoons Operable Unit have concluded that harmful concentrations of
biotransformed explosives should not be released into the environment after composting
(Griest, et al., 1994). This is because (as stated in the reference):
Explosives did not leach during a test simulating 1,000 years of acid rain exposure (EPA
Method 1320, the Synthetic Precipitation Leachate Test).
Explosives did not leach after exposure to UV-irradiation.
The biotransformation pathway produces a polymeric species that is "of very limited
solubility."
Studies conducted for the U.S. Army Biomedical Research and Development Laboratory
have documented plant uptake of explosives from soil (Cataldo, et.al., 1989, Cataldo, et. al.,
1990). However, there is no current evidence that explosives are available to plants after the
biotransformation that occurs during composting. Data provided by the composting
contractor, Bioremediation Service, Inc. (BSI), failed to detect explosives or metabolic
degradation products in either food or ornamental plants grown in compost treated soil
(Appendix B). The difficulty of extracting explosives compounds from plant tissue resulted
in high detection limits in the BSI study. These detection limits, ranging up to 10 mg/kg for
both TNT and RDX, were too high for direct comparisons with preliminary remediation
goals for consumption of home grown vegetables stated in the Remedial Investigation (Dames
and Moore, 1992). Currently, studies supported by the U.S. Army Environmental Center are
attempting to determine whether plants are capable of accumulating biotransformed
explosives from compost. Until this issue is resolved with greater certainty, it is intended
that the compost be used only for non-food plants.
Griest et al. (1994) stated that the concentrations of potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen in
the Umatilla compost provided significant fertilizer value. Some inhibitory effects were
noted in the reduced germination rate of lettuce and clover grown in contaminated soil
compost. However, the germination rate in control (uncontaminated compost) plants was also
lower than recommended by the test protocol. Despite the reduced germinated rate in
microcosm studies, Griest, et al. (1994) concluded that land application of Umatilla compost
would allow the re-establishment of plant populations. In addition to potentially improving
re-vegetation efforts, the use of compost on disturbed sites has been reported to reduce
erosion (W&H Pacific, 1993).
The compost generated at Umatilla has significant fertilizer value; it is also free of pathogens
possibly introduced by chicken manure used as a component of the compost. Pathogen
testing conducted by BSI demonstrates that the compost passes EPA's 503 Class A pathogen
UMAESDI.DOC 9/30/97 '
-------
requirements for biosolids (Appendix C). This testing included assays for parasites
(Helminth Ova Assay), enteric viruses, fecal coliform and Salmonella.
EPA Region 10 tested the full scale compost residues for leachable explosives in the summer
of 1997 using two leaching tests, the Synthetic Precipitation Leach Procedure (SPLP) [EPA
SW-846 Method 1312] and the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) [EPA
SW-846 Method 1311]. The SPLP test mimics aqueous leaching in a soil backfill
environment while the TCLP test mimics waste leaching in a landfill. The results of these
tests showed no detectable explosives constituents in any of the leachate samples analyzed
using EPA SW-846 Method 8330 for explosives (Appendix D). Therefore, aqueous
explosives leaching from the compost residues is not a concern.
Evaluation of the compost by an independent agronomist confirms its nutritive value to plants
but also raises concerns over high concentrations of salts. The salts content of 13.6 Ibs per
dry ton may inhibit plant growth under the dry climatic conditions of eastern Oregon. For
this reason, a moderate application rate of 10 tons/acre was recommended by the agronomist
to avoid adverse impacts caused by salts (Appendix E). The compost is better suited to the
soil and climate of western Oregon and Washington. Increased moisture and reduced soil pH
in western Oregon and Washington would allow an application rate of 40 tons/acre.
The following table summarizes the amount of compost which could be used to re-vegetate
UMDA sites excavated during remediation. In addition, compost could be applied over wide
areas of the installation to restore plant communities disturbed by past activities. The
Ecological Assessment Report for the Depot Activity (Dames and Moore, 1992b) identifies
approximately 2,000 acres at the installation as drastically disturbed. Compost applied at 10
tons/acre could help to restore these areas. Restoration could also be enhanced by applying
compost at a lower rate in areas that are naturally regenerating. The ecological assessment
has identified about 5,600 acres that fit into this category.

Considering an average cost of $15 per cubic yard for compost purchased from local
commercial sources, utilizing the treated soil for re-vegetation or restoration of the above
sites would present a cost savings of approximately $445,000 over importing compost from
off-site. The cost savings associated with on-site beneficial use of the treated soil, coupled
with the suitability of the compost for on-site vegetation restoration, support a significant
difference from the final burial in the lagoons selected in the ROD. Use of treated soil at
designated locations has been coordinated with ODEQ.
Providing the treated soil compost for off-site use was considered, but deemed inappropriate
at this time, since food crop uptake of contaminants present in the soil has not been
sufficiently characterized to allow for unrestricted distribution of the compost. However, off-
site use at other Department of Defense installations in the region may be appropriate.
Though stockpiling of treated soil will incur certain costs (geomembrane base, temporary
fencing, etc.), the anticipated rapid availability of suitable on-site locations and the more
costly alternative of importing soil justify this expense.
A decision matrix to determine future use of compost should include the following
considerations:
Table 3. Future Compost Use Considerations

On-site use for restoring restoration sites or landfill
closing
On-site use for other landscaping uses (non food
crops)
Off-site use for landscaping or restoration at other
DoD installations

road sides)
On- or off-site use for residential food crops

Unacceptable
Maintenance of the compost in a stockpile may also aid the groundwater treatment effort at
the Washout Lagoons site. The infiltration gallery of the groundwater treatment system is
located in the excavated Washout Lagoons. Access to the infiltration gallery for maintenance
will be easier if the compost is not used to backfill the excavation at this time.
After incorporating the significant differences into the recommended disposal alternative for
the treated Explosives Washout Lagoons Soils, the change to the final remedy is an effective
remedial alternative which complies with all federal, state, and Army applicable or relevant
and appropriate requirements (ARARs). This remedy minimizes the health and safety risks
and provides for a more cost effective disposal scenario. The following describes the
complete modified remedy agreed on by the U.S. Army, EPA, and ODEQ for use of created
Explosives Washout Lagoons Soils:
UMAESDI.DOC
9/30/97
-------
The treated soils will be utilized for surface site restoration and improvement of
vegetative plantings at several designated locations at the former UMDA.
Excess stockpiled soil not used in this vegetative restoration effort will remain on-site
until further suitable on-site locations are identified.
IV. AFFIRMATION OF THE STATUTORY DETERMINATIONS
Considering the new information that has been developed and the changes that have been
made to the selected remedy, the Army, ODEQ, and EPA believe the remedy remains
protective of human health and the environment, complies with federal and state requirements
that were identified in the ROD as applicable or relevant and appropriate to this remedial
action at the time the original ROD was signed, arid is cost-effective. In addition, the revised
remedy utilizes permanent solutions and alternative treatment technologies to the maximum
extent practicable for this site.

Re: Continental File Number: 6404

Continental Project Manager: Clifford J. Baker
Dear Mr. Emery:
Enclosed are" the following CAS Quality Control Reports for the above referenced order
number:
- METHOD BLANK DATA
- LABORATORY CONTROL SAMPLE/LABORATORY CONTROL SAMPLE DUPLICATE
- SURROGATE DATA
- MATRIX SPIKE/MATRIX SPIKE DUPLICATE
- INITIAL CALIBRATION VERIFICATION
- CONTINUING CALIBRATION VERIFICATION
A general description of the information contained in the reports is presented below:
METHOD BLANK DATA
A method blank is a matrix similar to that of the sample which has been prepared
and analyzed by the same method as the sample. The method blank is used to assure
that the preparation and analysis method has not introduced contamination. The
Method Blank Data Report provides the analytical results for all method blanks
prepared and analyzed from the same batch as that of the client's samples.
LABORATORY CONTROL SAMPLE/LABORATORY CONTROL SAMPLE DUPLICATE
A Laboratory Control Sample is a matrix similar to that of the sample which has
been spiked with known concentrations of analytes and prepared and analyzed by the
same method as the sample. The Laboratory Control Sample (LCS) percent recovery is
a measure of the accuracy of the preparation and analysis method. The Laboratory
Control Sample Duplicate (LCSD) is a duplicate preparation and analysis of the LCS.
The LCS and LCSD are used to calculate the relative percent difference, which is a
measure of the precision of the preparation and analysis method. The LCS/LCSD
Report provides the analytical results for all laboratory control samples prepared
and analyzed from the same batch as that of the client's sample.
SURROGATE DATA
A surrogate is a compound that is similar to the compounds of interest, but is not
normally found in environmental samples. Surrogates are added to the sample prior
to preparation and analysis. 'The surrogate percent recovery is a measure of the
effectiveness of the preparation and analysis method on the individual sample. The
Surrogate Data Report provides the surrogate recoveries for each sample that
required organic analysis.
MATRIX SPIKE/MATRIX SPIKE DUPLICATE
A Matrix Spike is an aliquot of a sample spiked with compounds of interest and
prepared and analyzed by the same method as the sample. The Matrix Spike (MS)
percent recovery is a measure of the effectiveness of the preparation and analysis
method on the specific sample matrix. The Matrix Spike Duplicate (MSD) is a
duplicate preparation and analysis of the MS. The MS and MSD are used to calculate
the relative percent difference, which is a measure of the precision of the
preparation and analysis method. The MS/MSD Report provides the analytical results
for all Matrix Spike and Matrix Spike Duplicate analyses performed either on
samples from the client's order or on samples from the same batch as that of the
client's sample.

INITIAL CALIBRATION VERIFICATION DATA
Before a calibration curve is used, an Initial Calibration Verification (ICV) check
standard is analyzed. An ICV check standard is a standard from a source different
from that of the instrument calibration standards and is used to verify the
accuracy of the calibration curve. The CAS ICV Report provides the percent
recovery for each analyte of the ICV check standard and verifies the accuracy of
the calibration/ curve used to quantify the results for samples from the client's
order. -.;'''
CONTINUING CALIBRATION VERIFICATION DATA
To verify continued accuracy of a calibration curve, a Continuing Calibration
Verification (CCV) check standard is analyzed. A CCV check standard is a standard
of a concentration in the midrange of the calibration curve. A CCV check standard
is analyzed at the beginning of each day of analysis, preceding any sample analyses
and intermittently throughout the analytical sequence. The CAS CCV Report provides
the percent recovery for each analyte of the CCV check standard analyzed both
preceding and following the samples from the client's order.
ACCURACY AND PRECISION LIMITS
The accuracy and precision limits are method or laboratory determined limits
indicating acceptable accuracy or precision for a given matrix. The accuracy
limits are expressed with units of percent recovery. The precision limits are
expressed with units of relative percent difference (RPD) . Accuracy and precision
limits are provided on the CAS LCS/LCSD Report. CAS MS/MSD Report and the CAS
Surrogate Report.
QUALITY CONTROL BATCH
Each batch of twenty or fewer samples of the same matrix, prepared and analyzed at
CAS, is assigned a Quality Control Batch number. The Quality Control Batch number
for each sample is provided on the CAS Laboratory Report. With each batch, a
Method Blank and two Laboratory Control Samples are also prepared and analyzed.
The analytical results for the Method Blank and the Laboratory Control Samples are
provided on the CAS Method Blank Data Report and the CAS LCS/LCSD Report,
respectively.
DATE PREPARED
The date prepared is the date the sample was extracted or digested in preparation
for analysis. If the extraction or digestion is performed as part of the analysis,
"NA" is reported for the date prepared. The date prepared for each sample is
provided on the CAS Laboratory Report.
DATE ANALYZED
The date analyzed is the date the analysis was performed on the sample. The date
analyzed for each sample is provided on the CAS Laboratory Report.
If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact me or your CAS
Project Manager at (800) 535-3076.

AGRONOMIST'S REPORT

LAND APPLICATION OF COMPOST
RECEIVED FROM BIOREMEDIATION SERVICE, INC. ON MAY 30, 1996
These materials would make a more marginal soil amendment for E. Oregon than for W.
Oregon because of the high pH and high salt levels. High pH and high salts are less
problematic on the acid, high rainfall soil's of the Willamette Valley. The material does
have significant fertilizer value for many applications.
PH
pH of this material is relatively high. A soil pH of 8.2 is near native soil pH in most soil's
of the Hermiston and Umatilla area. The pH of this material is not high enough to indicate
a sodium problem. High pH materials are desirable in the Willamette Valley because soils
have a pH less than 6.0 and lime is needed to increase soil pH. This material could be used
as a substitute for lime in addition to providing fertilizer and helping soil tilth.
PHOSPHOROUS
Phosphorous levels are moderately high. However, only a fraction of this total P is "plant
available" P in the short term. For a one time application P is not limiting. If many
applications are anticipated P is the most limiting nutrient to long term applications.
POTASSIUM This material is high in K. The material has 1 1.8 pounds of K per dry ton of
material. Most of this K would be "plant available" The high K level in this material is a
large contributing factor to its high salt content.
NITROGEN.
The ammonium and nitrate levels in this material are moderate. They are high enough to
indicate that it is a stabilized compost and would not immobilize N. Rather a net N release
through mineralization would be expected. This material would release N at a slow rate
allowing for uptake by existing vegetation. Amount of N, timing of N released and its fate
would depend on seasonality of application, application rate, application method,
vegetation, rainfall and other factors. Nitrogen would be released over the next 5-10 years
following application. Larger chunks of wood in this material have not yet decomposed
but, because of the small surface area they represent, would not temporarily fix much
nitrogen. If this material is surface applied during the summer much of the ammonia may
volatilize.
The to.i?.i N content of this material indicates thai a dry ton of material contains 8.9 pounds
of N. Nitrogen and salt content are the most rate limiting constituents to short term
applications. A rough estimate is to assume 50% of the applied N will be available in the
first year following application.
-------
SALTS
One of the most limiting factors in compost land application in E. Oregon is salt levels. If
this material is applied to an environment wheje leachingxoccurs salts are less of a problem
in the long term. The salt level of 13.6 is vety nigh tor most applications east of the
Cascades. At very high rates salts will hinder the growth of many agronomic crops and
many native species. If this material is used for landscaping it will need to be leached of
some of its salts prior to planting. Used in moderation (5-10 t/a) this material could be used
without adverse salt effects to most plants. This material has the potential to be beneficial
once salts are minimized. Benefits include increasing soil tilth and providing a form of
slow release fertilizer.
Salt hazard is a direct function of rate applied. A safe salt level in soil for most applications
is less than 1 mmhos cm"1. Many desert species are much more tolerant to salts while many
landscape plants tend to be more sensitive. If this material will be applied at rates greater
than 10 dry t/a it would be beneficial to monitor salts after application.
RATE OF APPLICATION
This material is limited by its high pH and its high salt content. The organic matter and
fertilizer content would benefit soil tilth if salts were reduced. A nitrogen rate of 100
pounds per acre is suitable, assuming a 25-50% availability in the first year which allows
for a total 200-400 pounds of N to be applied. Rates of 5 to 40 dry tons per acre are
suitable depending on soil pH, vegetation and salt hazard.
