Environmental Code Regulations
|
|
A valid license issued by JCED is required to conduct or perform the services of designer for any private sewage treatment system regulated under the Johnson County Environmental Sanitary Code. Employees of a validly licensed designer are not required to be separately licensed. A licensed professional engineer shall be considered licensed to perform the services of designer. A person licensed as an installer under the Johnson County Environmental Sanitary Code shall be considered licensed for purpose of designing conventional and shallow in-ground systems that are pumped or gravity fed, as determined by the administering agency, but no others. A license is required for the design of any alternative system such as mound, low pressure pipe, or other permitted alternative systems. Licenses are valid for a term of two years, running concurrently with the calendar year and expire on December 31 of each succeeding calendar year. Licenses may be renewed on or before January 15 of any succeeding year. Applications will be kept on file by the JCED. All required license fees are due at the time of application for the license or renewal. No fee shall be prorated or refunded for any partial term or part-year application. The applicant will be required to demonstrate adequate knowledge of the regulations pertaining to private sewage treatment systems and general engineering principles pertaining to such systems. The administering authority may consider actual experience, education, or professional licensing of the applicant in the granting or denial of an application for an initial license or renewal, including prior revocations or disciplinary action. Application requirements include attendance at an appropriate training workshop and satisfactory completion of a written examination. The workshop shall be conducted or sponsored by JCED or other recognized governmental, educational or professional institution. The written exam shall be administered by JCED and cover subjects related to public health concerns, sewage disposal techniques, standards for design or construction or installation of sewage treatment systems, sewage treatment theory, and/or hydraulics. Any applicant who fails to satisfactorily complete the written examination may retake the examination after thirty days. Every person licensed as a designer must obtain a minimum of three hours of approved continuation training each calendar year. No license will be renewed without submission of a certification of the training to the Director of JCED. The training must be directly related to the knowledge requirements necessary for issuance of the license under Chapter 2, Section 3 of the Johnson County Environmental Sanitary Code. Attendance of any workshop conducted, sponsored or approved by JCED or any applicable professional association will meet this training requirement. A license may be revoked for failure to comply with the Johnson County
Environmental Sanitary Code.
