(b) Producers must document the disposal of all noncompliant hemp. This documentation must be submitted to the department following the completion of the disposal process.

(3) If a licensee's hemp tests higher than 0.3 percent but less than 0.7 percent THC concentration, the licensee may remediate their crop using methods approved by the department. The remediated crop then must be resampled and retested within 30 days, at the licensee's own expense.
