The department will not renew a certificate if a proceeding
to deny certification under

the expiration of a certificate by complying with all of the following

renewal application on the form the department requires;
2. Payment of a $100 renewal fee to the
department;
3. Submittal of proof
of satisfactory completion of at least four hours of continuing education
pre-approved by the department within the past two years. Requests for

prior to the expected course date or dates and must include a detailed syllabus
indicating time to be spent on each topic area covered. Continuing education
hours must be in subject matter consistent with
4VAC5-15-60 C.
Department personnel may attend continuing education sessions to verify that
the requirements are met. Proof of attendance must be verified by the course
provider. The department may accept continuing education units obtained in
Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania if such continuing education units are
specifically for the purpose of recertification in the state nutrient
management certification program; and
4. Completion of at least one nutrient
management plan or completion of four hours of continuing education
pre-approved by the department within the past two years in addition to the
