MDA to Administer Compost Facility Operators Exam
November 1; Examination Required Before Facility Operators Can be Certified
The Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) will administer the Compost Facility Operators exam on Friday, November 1, at 9 am at MDA headquarters, 50 Harry S Truman Parkway, Annapolis. Passing this exam is required to become certified as a Compost Facility Operator. Individuals who want to take the exam must register with Phil Davidson, Registration Supervisor, at (410) 841-2721 or philip.davidson@maryland.gov
The State of Maryland regulates the commercial composting process to ensure that the finished product will benefit plants and customers as intended. Those products are registered with MDA’s State Chemist as soil conditioners or composts. Individuals who are composting materials to be sold or distributed must demonstrate their competency by passing an exam and becoming certified.
