C. RATES AND MEANS OF APPLICATIONZone A, shown on the site map, are adjacent to the sensitive “No Fertilizer” zones (see sitemap). Zone A will receive a slow release fertilizer (10-0-5) as needed, applied sparingly upto a maximum rate of 1/2 pound of actual nitrogen per 1000 square feet of turf. Zone B,which includes the rest of the turf areas, will receive a slow release fertilizer (15-5-7) asneeded, applied at a maximum rate of 1/2 pound of actual nitrogen per 1000 square feet ofturf. A soil analysis conducted on August 11, 2010 (report attached) indicates that the soilsin this zone need phosphorus. Both zones will be fertilized only as directed by nutrientneeds from a soil test. Fertilizer will be applied with a fertilizer spreader, which will bechecked for accuracy once a year before use.D. TIMING AND FREQUENCY OF APPLICATIONIf needed, fertilizer will be applied once a year at the start of the growing season after theground has thawed.E. IRRIGATIONA system of sprinklers are installed for turf on the property, with an ET irrigationcontroller to efficiently regulate watering and minimize nutrient-laden runoff. Turf shouldbe watered lightly immediately after fertilizer application to move the fertilizer to the soil.No runoff should be visible. An irrigation audit will be completed every two years so thatadjustments can be made to ensure property irrigation is being applied to the turf areas,without runoff occurring.F. STORAGE AND DISPOSALAll fertilizers will be stored in bins within the Garden Shed, location shown on the sitemap. Disposal will be according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.III.

This map indicates the boundaries of three distinct zones: a “NoFertilizer” zone, Zone A, and Zone B. Coyote Creek and the lake, including 25 foot buffers, are“No Fertilizer” zones as mapped. Native vegetation zones as mapped are also “No Fertilizer”zones.IV.
