I agree to cooperate with an inquiry committee if a complaint associated with nutrient management planning is filed against me, any of my partners, the organization I work for, or any of my employees.

I have read the general guidelines for nutrient management planners associated with the Alabama CCA program (http://www.ag.auburn.edu/accap/ ).

I have read the memorandum of understanding between the Alabama CCA Program and NRCS (http://www.ag.auburn.edu/accap/ ).

I have satisfactorily completed a nutrient management plan under the direction of a qualified NRCS representative.

I have completed modules one through five of the NRCS Conservation Planning Course and Examination (http://www.ftw.nrcs.usda.gov/start.htm -- this is a htm and not a html file).

I have completed formalized training in nutrient management planning:

All of my nutrient management plans, including those not done for a fee and not required by a law, rule or regulation will be professional quality.

Before writing a nutrient management plan, I will carefully read and understand all rules and regulations associated with the plan.

I will participate in continuing education that will help keep me updated on rules, laws, and regulations as well as scientific information that impact nutrient management plans.

I understand that it is my responsibility to keep records of my nutrient management plans, proofs of competency, and continuing education and that my records may be audited by the CCA Board of Directors or a committee established by the board to monitor the "Nutrient Management Planner" program.
