And where do I find one that's, "certified"? The list here on BL does not mention anything about certified or not, thanks.

Additionally they will keep records of anyone who does wash out on that site (when/where/who) in case contamination is reported so they can trace back and notify people.

As a shipper that's all I've ever known a "certified" to mean, and that's all I've ever needed for a customer location requesting one. Has anyone encountered something different?

I seem to remember most of them drying up and blowing away down in Nebraska, when all that was going on.
