(1) The secretary
of agriculture shall, upon receipt of the analysis provided in rule
21-43.33 (201A), certify the
number of pounds of ECCE, using the method provided in rule
21-43.31 (201A). The
certification shall be forwarded to the manufacturer or producer from whom the
sample was obtained by written notice and sent by United States mail.
Each certification of ECCE should be based on the average of a
maximum of five analyses from five samples. Each new analysis received should
be added to the previous five analyses and the oldest analysis shall be
omitted. Fewer than five analyses shall be averaged on the basis of the actual
number of analyses. Nothing in this rule shall preclude a manufacturer or
producer from having a certification on separate stockpiles of agricultural
liming material provided that each stockpile shall be separated from any other
stockpile and each separate stockpile has been sampled and certified as
required.
(2) All
agricultural liming material or specialty limestone offered for sale, sold or
otherwise distributed shall be offered for sale, sold or distributed by the
pound of ECCE. Any person who offers for sale, sells or distributes
agricultural liming material or specialty limestone shall affix or cause to be
affixed to every bill of lading, scale ticket, delivery receipt or other
instrument of sale or package the certification of the secretary of agriculture
of the number of pounds of ECCE per ton in the agricultural liming material or
specialty limestone.
The certification shall be in the following form: Iowa
Secretary of Agriculture Certified __________ pounds ECCE per ton. The pounds
of ECCE certified by the secretary of agriculture for the agricultural liming
material or specialty limestone shall be inserted in the space provided.
(3) Agricultural liming material
which has been further processed, subsequent to certification, as provided in
rule
21-43.31 (201A), including but
not limited to decreasing or increasing moisture content, shall have the
certification adjusted accordingly. Within 48 hours from the time of delivery,
the adjusted certification shall be provided to the ultimate consumer of the
agricultural liming material in writing together with the certification as
provided in subrule 43.35(2) and shall accurately reflect the ECCE of the
agricultural liming material.
(4)
All agricultural liming material and specialty limestone certifications shall
expire on January 1, three years after being issued, provided no samples have
been obtained and analyzed.
