Subject: OMRI Status Notification for Bion Liquid AB 10% (bea-20131)

 

Dear Jeremy:

 

I am pleased to inform you that OMRI has reviewed Bion Liquid AB 10% (bea-20131) and has determined that it is Allowed with Restrictions for use in compliance with the USDA National Organic Program (NOP), carrying the following restrictions and/or caution statements: This product contains highly soluble nitrogen and must be applied in a manner that does not contribute to the contamination of crops, soil or water. Its use must be part of an organic system plan that maintains or improves the natural resources of the operation, including soil and water quality, and comply with crop nutrient and soil fertility requirements.

 

The product is in the Generic Material Listing: NOP: Fertilizers, with high ammoniacal nitrogen, Class: Crop Fertilizers and Soil Amendments. This product will appear in the OMRI Products List© available on our website, and in the next printed edition. Subscribing certifiers, state programs and others will receive information regarding the OMRI status of this product in the next quarterly update. The most recent certificate for any of your OMRI Listed® products may be downloaded at any time by visiting OMRI.org. The certificate for this product may be downloaded using the following link:

OMRI has identified the product to be a high nitrogen liquid fertilizer subject to NOP Guidance 5012, which requires annual announced and unannounced inspections. The announced inspection is complete and a copy of the inspection report is attached. You will also receive an unannounced inspection this year. The unannounced inspection will take place during normal hours of operation and does not require the presence of the authorized review contact. OMRI’s inspection procedures are explained in OMRI Policy Manual© §2.4.

 

The inspector noted that the facility is a pilot plant and is not used to produce product for the market. OMRI is setting a 2-year deadline for your company to establish a facility capable of producing retail/sale-able product, starting the day of this product becoming OMRI Listed. Future inspections will include verification of your company’s progress towards that goal, as well as the implementation of inventory systems and collection of production data. 

 

Also, please see the attached complaints log template. All OMRI Listed companies are required to maintain such a log in regards to their OMRI Listed products.

 

The inspector indicated that the authorized contacts have changed for your company. Please sign in to omri.org and update the authorized contact information.
