Application for Chemigation Applicator Certification
This information is provided by the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy to assist the public and regulated community.
Form #: WAT025 Applications and Forms Revised: 1/1/04


The Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE) supplies the Chemigation Applicator Certification forms to University of Nebraska-Lincoln – Cooperative Extension Service (UNL). The forms are sequentially numbered to help UNL and NDEE track and match the application with the test forms.

Forms normally are available at any County Extension office and at the scheduled training sessions. UNL conducts the training and charges a fee to partially cover the cost of materials, training and testing. UNL then forwards the test results to NDEE.

Certification applicants are required to both attend the training and pass the test. Applicants must correctly answer at least 35 of the 50 questions on the test. Applicants that fail the test are notified by mail and have the option to retake the test without attending another training session. A chemigation applicator certification card is issued to successful applicants. The certification expires on January 1 of the fourth year following the date of issuance.

The sequence number on the application form is generally used for the certification number for new applicants. Those renewing their certification should indicate their current certification number in the appropriate space on the form so a new number will not be assigned. This helps reduce changes on the permit applications for permit renewals.

A list of Nebraska certified applicators can be found on the NDEE web site, by selecting the “Focus on Water” option on the home page, then clicking on “Chemigation Program.”

For Chemigation Applicator Certification applications – both new and renewal applications – contact the Extension Office for your county or contact UNL at 402-370-4000.
