Bmp certification in fl.

[ozzy42]

Any other Flori duh guys take the test yet.

Well I did,and am now certified by Manatee County thru a program overseen by the University of Florida.Yes sir ree bob ,I have been properly trained ,educated,isuued card and sticker for the truck
I am now certified to ....................wait for it
























































Operate a leaf blower on a pervious surface.

The state law takes effect in 2 more years or so ,but my county adopted the policy and bumped up the implemintation.
Had to go to a 4 hour class and pay 15$to listen to a bunch of stuff aimed mostly at lawn jockies.
The whole thing is about storm water drains and how to prevent lawn clippings and fetilizer from getting into storm drains .Over watering lawns,frequency,duration ,blah blah blah blah blah.


So,,,,I'll fill the rest of you tree guys in so you can be super edumacated like me.
''Don't blow the last of the rakings into the storm drain''
No freekin duh?
Sorry ,just needed to rant .The fact that they made me sit in a room full of lawn jockies and landscrapers for 4 hours for this a little peturbing.

No. this cert does not allow pest. or fert[seperate class ,seperate test ,seperate $$]. It just tells us how to clean up a jobsite.That's why I think it was such a crock.

It's a money grab by the government. They are doing the same thing to contractors as well. You need to be licensed, then certified and then be certified again with led paint removal. Instead of taxes you get fees. Hold on to your wallets it's about to get worse once we go off the cliff. It hasn't been this bad in Washington since 1860 and you know how that went.
