A valid installer license must be issued to any person who
installs, engages in the installation of, or repairs a private sewage disposal
system. Employees of an installer who has a valid license are not required
to be separately licensed. Licensed installers may, without separate
license, design conventional and shallow in-ground systems that are pumped or
gravity fed.
Any license issued expires on December 31 of each year and
must be renewed annually on or before January 15 of the following
year. Applications will be kept on file by 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 an installer 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.
The licensed installer must have and maintain insurance
for liability and workmanship in amounts and forms as designated by the
administering agency. A copy of the certificate of insurance shall be
filed with the agency. The licensed installer may also be required to be
bonded.
A license may be revoked for failure to comply with the
Johnson County Environmental Sanitary Code. The revocation procedure will
comply with the provisions of Chapter I of the code.
