(1)           the payment of the annual renewal fee of ten dollars ($10.00) set forth in G.S. 90A-47.4(b), prior to December 31 of the year of renewal;

(2)           completion of six hours of additional training approved by the Commission during each three-year period following initial certification.

(b)  A certified animal waste management system operator that fails to pay the annual renewal fee within 30 days of the due date, or fails to complete the approved training within 30 days of the end of the three-year period, shall take and pass an examination approved by the Commission to renew the certificate.
