As used in this subchapter, unless the context otherwise requires, “liming material” means all or any form of limestone, lime rock, dolomite, marl, slag, by-product lime, brown lime, industry or factory refuse lime, and any other material moved, prepared, sold, or distributed primarily for correcting soil acidity. Every lot, package, or parcel of liming material sold or offered or exposed for sale or distribution within this state shall have on each bag, package, or other container in a conspicuous place on the outside; or in the case of bulk lime, there shall accompany each load and the vendor shall present to the purchaser a legible and true statement in the English language giving: The net weight of the contents of the package, bag, other container, or bulk load; The true name of the product; The name and principal address of the manufacturer, importer, or other guarantor; The minimum neutralizing value in terms of percent of calcium carbonate equivalent; The degree of fineness expressed as: Minimum percentage passing through a ten (10) mesh sieve; Minimum percentage passing through a sixty (60) mesh sieve; and Minimum percentage passing through a one hundred (100) mesh sieve; and Any other statements that the State Plant Board in its rules may require. In lieu of subdivisions (b)(4) and (5) of this section, the board may in its rules set minimum standards of calcium carbonate equivalence and fineness for various grades of liming materials. These grades when stated shall become the minimum guarantees of the liming material so labeled.
