Steps for registration and approval

In order to qualify as a CLEANmp Service Provider, an individual must have the following pre-requisite qualifications: 

 

1.    An individual will be a registered Technical Service Provider (TSP) listed on the Natural Resources Conservation Service’s TechReg Website.  The individual must be a TSP registered for either CNMP Plan Development in at least one of the following categories: Land Treatment, Manure and Wastewater Handling and Storage, Nutrient Management, or Total Plan; or Nutrient Management - Organic and Inorganic; or Manure and Wastewater Handling and Storage.  In order to qualify to develop an NMP for an applicant (producer) that has an Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) a CLEANmp planner must have TSP registration under the following category: CNMP Plan Development-Total Plan.

2.    The individual must be physically capable of walking continuously for several hours and maneuvering in small/tight places (i.e., alley ways in production buildings), under typical weather conditions.

3.    The individual must have at least daily access to the internet, e-mail, and a printer.

 

If an individual meets the pre-requisite qualifications, they may start the process of becoming an approved CLEANmp Service Provider.  The requirements are the same regardless if an individual is pursuing approval as an assessor, planner or both.  This individual will need to complete the following steps:

 

1.    The potential Service Provider must complete a CLEANmp information form and upload a current resume on the CLEANmp website.

2.    The potential Service Provider must sign a CLEANmp performance agreement.

3.    The potential Service Provider must sign a CLEANmp confidentiality agreement.

4.    The potential Service Provider must agree to abide by and follow the CLEANmp code of ethics.  The CLEANmp code of ethics is presented in Section 12 of this document.

5.    The potential Service Provider must provide SES a copy of a valid government issued form of picture identification.

 

The Program Administrator reserves the right to deny CLEANmp approval to an individual who: 1) exhibits behaviors that do not reflect what is expected of an Service Provider under the CLEANmp Code of Conduct or 2) does not have the technical capability commensurate with their TSP registration.  These criteria apply in any venue where a Service Provider (approved or in process) is representing him or herself as a CLEANmp Service Provider or can otherwise be connected with the CLEANmp program.
