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.
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.
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.
The cabinet may revoke or suspend any certification issued pursuant to this
section upon proof that the certified person has:
(a) Knowingly violated the provisions of this chapter or the regulations of the
cabinet;
(b) Practiced fraud or deception in applying for or obtaining a certificate;
(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.
Upon appeal of any decision to revoke or suspend a certification, an
administrative hearing shall be conducted in accordance with KRS Chapter
13B.
Nothing in this section shall be construed to condone the installation of on-site
sewage disposal systems contrary to specifications for these systems
established by the cabinet.
