Senate Bill 1217, An Act to. Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study

designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an

certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H

If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.

the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
