(C) The results of official analysis of any sample of fertilizer found to be in violation of any provisions of sections 905.31 to 905.503 of the Revised Code or any rule shall be forwarded to the licensee or registrant. A licensee or registrant may request a portion of any such sample, provided that the request is made not more than thirty days after the date of the analysis report. (D) Analytical tolerances shall be governed by rules. (E) If the director is denied access to any premises where access is sought for the purpose of inspection and sampling, the director may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for a search warrant authorizing access to the premises for that purpose.
