The University of Maryland Extension is offering a one-day workshop for commercial poultry growers needing assistance filling out their CERCLA registration. Additionally, help will be available to answer questions poultry growers, livestock farmers and anyone may have about completing their AIR (annual implementation report) as well as other Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) animal

feeding operation (AFO) forms. A demonstration of MDE’s beta version of the e-AIR will also be available. This will be an “informal” workshop. Members of the University of Maryland Extension, Agriculture Law Education Initiative, Maryland Department of Ag and MDE, will be available from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. to assist growers.
