Land units and/or livestock may not be brought in and out of certification over time, but shall be
maintained under organic management. In the case of requirement for mandatory application of
prohibited products onto certified lands or stock (e.g., statutory control of noxious weeds), prior
approval must be sought and achieved from the CO and lands and/or stock so treated shall be removed
from certification. Additional inspection of lands and production by the CO may be required in such
events at the expense of the operator.
