- Participate in the development of regulations, policies, and guidelines to mitigate the environmental impact that could result from the distribution and application of adulterated fertilizing materials on California soils.
- Perform scientific analysis of Organic Input Material firms that produce liquid fertilizers over 3% Total Nitrogen through mass balance analysis as these fertilizing materials are classified as higher risk for adulteration by the National Organic Program.
- Utilize heavy metals database management and fertilizing material database (Extraview) to develop environmental exposure analysis for agricultural crops due to environmental non-nutritive metal hazards.
- Interpret and apply California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) lab analysis reports for program management to identify areas of risk and higher violation rates.
- Perform statistical analysis of fertilizing materials sampling by participating in the preparation of CDFA's annual fertilizing materials sampling summary, as required by law.
- Develop scientific methodologies for new statistically valid sampling methods (i.e. liquid tube validation, sampling of 55 gallon drums, 5-gallon buckets, etc.).
- Maintain knowledge of and ability to use a variety of tools and devices for statistically valid fertilizer sampling.
- Work with management to develop biochar standards by promulgating new regulations recommended by the Secretary.
- Travel using a State vehicle to conduct inspections of fertilizing materials licensees, distributors, retailers, and growers for compliance with the law.

During activities while in the field, the employee may be exposed to gases, dirt, odors, noise, fumes, uneven surfaces, extreme temperatures or weather conditions, and fast moving equipment. Trucks, railcars, ships and other conveyances of feed and fertilizing materials are sampled outdoors during loading at the manufacturing and distribution locations, while in transit, or upon delivery at the plants, farms, distributor, retailer, or livestock operation.
Travel by State vehicle within assigned area is required on a routine basis. Limited out-of-state travel to perform inspections and collect samples may also be required. Travel by car, air, or other public transportation system to attend in-state and out-of-state meetings, follow up with field staff, local, State and federal agencies, and advisory board/subcommittee meetings will occasionally be required.
