Page 1 of 2 211.357 Certification of installers of on-site sewage disposal systems. (1) The cabinet shall establish a program to certify persons as installers of on-site sewage disposal systems. A master plumber licensed pursuant to KRS Chapter 318
or a person who provides written verification from the local health department in
the county in which the work was completed that he installed five (5) lateral fields
and septic tank systems prior to July 13, 1984, and that these installations had been
inspected by a certified inspector and passed inspection, shall be certified
automatically. (2) The cabinet shall establish as a part of the certification program referenced in subsection (1) of this section a means of issuing a probationary certification for
installers of on-site sewage disposal systems. This probationary certification shall
automatically be converted to a full certification at the time that the holder of the
probationary certificate has installed five (5) lateral fields and septic tank systems
and has provided written verification from the local health department in the county
in which the work was completed that these installations have been inspected by a
certified inspector and passed the inspection. The cabinet shall issue a full
certificate to the holder of the probationary certificate no later than sixty (60) days
after receipt of verification. In order to be issued a probationary certification,
eligible persons shall certify in writing that they will make installations in
accordance with requirements set forth by the Cabinet for Health and Family
Services. (3) Persons certified as installers, except master plumbers licensed pursuant to KRS Chapter 318, shall pay a reasonable fee of not more than twenty-five dollars ($25)
for certification. (4) The cabinet may revoke or suspend any certification issued pursuant to this section upon proof that the certified person has:

(c) Is incompetent to install on-site sewage disposal systems;
(d) Permitted the certification to be used directly or indirectly by another to install on-site sewage disposal systems; or (e) Is guilty of other unprofessional or dishonorable conduct of a character likely to deceive or defraud the public.
