Using the Direct Payment Initiative, RMP developers can request pre-approval of DCR funding to write RMPs for interested farmers. RMP developers can also request pre-approval of funding to conduct inspections and conduct associated duties to help farmers have their RMP certified. Upon completion of the pre-approved services, RMP developers may request payment for provided services.
RMP developers may request pre-approval at any time and may provide RMP services throughout Virginia.
Details of the initiative can be found in the attached “RMP Direct Payment Initiative Guidelines” document.
