#60 ANHYDROUS AMMONIA - NH3

Anhydrous ammonia is an important and economical plant nutrient, which requires considerable care during transport and application. Four Departments of State have responsibility for regulations regarding the sale, transportation and application of NH3.

We support:

• The consolidation of responsibility for regulations to improve the efficiency and reduce possible confusion of regulatory responsibility.
• Designating the Michigan Department of Agriculture as the primary department responsible.
• Michigan Department of State Police maintaining jurisdiction for transportation issues.
• An educational effort for all individuals involved with the sale, transportation or application of NH3.
• Informational and educational programs to deter theft and vandalism of NH3.
• A cost-share program for anhydrous ammonia tank locks and GloTellTM or similar product application.
• Efforts to discourage stealing of anhydrous (such as GloTellTM or similar products or measures) and stronger enforcement of laws for people engaged in the theft of anhydrous.
