Confined Animal Manure Management Recertification Hours

The deadline for receiving the required ten (10) hours of continuing education credits to maintain certification was June 30, 2010.

Regulation 61-43, Standards for the Permitting of Agricultural Animal Facilities sections 100.190 (swine), 200.190 (other animals) and 400.120 (manure brokers) specify the requirements to obtain certification and that “Training and/or certification shall be maintained as long as the facility remains in operation”. Failure to maintain certification is a violation of this Regulation and could subject you to penalties to be determined by the Department’s Enforcement Section.

To assist you in obtaining the necessary ten (10) hours, the CAMM program will be offering four (4) all-day classes to be held this fall on September 21, September 29, October 13 and November 3. Please contact Bryan Smith, Clemson Extension at 864-984-2514 x112, to sign up for one of these classes.

If your facility has closed or for any reason, is no longer in business, please notify us in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of this correspondence. If you should have any questions or concerns, please call my office (803-898-4225) or Bill Chaplin (803-898-3532).
