Paid upon retesting request

(1)Fees paid at time of license application. The license fee and primary inspection fee shall be paid prior to acceptance of a license application. License fees shall be based on the number of acres in a crop site. A primary inspection fee shall secure a preharvest inspection of one lot or sub-lot.

(2)Fees for preharvest inspection of additional hemp lots and sub-lots. A licensee may request official sampling of additional lots and sub-lots. All inspection fees shall be paid prior to performance of any official test.

a. If the additional preharvest inspection is to occur at the same time as the primary preharvest inspection, then a supplemental inspection fee shall be paid for each additional lot or sub-lot to be inspected.

b. If the additional preharvest inspection is to occur on a different day than the primary preharvest inspection, then the licensee shall pay a secondary inspection fee for the first lot or sub-lot to be inspected, and each lot or sub-lot after that shall each be assigned a supplemental inspection fee.

(3)Retesting fee. A licensee may request a single retest of a preharvest sample previously collected for a lot or sub-lot if the licensee believes the original official laboratory test result was in error. The licensee may not request the collection of a new sample. The licensee requesting the retest of the sample shall pay the retesting fee prior to performance of official retest.

(4)Remediation inspection fee. A licensee may request a single post-remediation sample for a lot or sub-lot if the licensee receives permission from the department to remediate a crop with an official test result that exceeds the acceptable hemp THC concentration. The remediation inspection fee shall be paid prior to performance of official test.
