Section 80-1-6-.11 - Retention Of Samples

All official samples of commercial fertilizer taken and analyzed under the provisions of Code of Ala. 1975, § 2-22-11, shall be retained by the Department of Agriculture and Industries as follows:

(a) Samples, after analysis, where no deficiency has been determined, may be discarded at any time following conclusion of the analysis.

(b) Samples, after analysis, where a deficiency has been determined, shall be retained for a period of 180 days. It is found that a period of 180 days is a reasonable time within which to allow the licensee to request a portion of deficient samples, as provided under Code of Ala. 1975, § 2-22-11(e). The above period of 180 days may be extended at the discretion of the Chief of the Agricultural Chemistry Division of the Department of Agriculture and Industries upon the request of any interested party.
