Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 39, September 26, 2024

(a) Upon satisfactory fulfillment of the requirements specified in K.A.R. 28-16-30, a certificate of competency shall be issued to the applicant. The certificate shall designate the class or classes of either water supply systems or wastewater treatment facilities for which the applicant has received certification to operate. The certificate shall be valid for two years from date of issuance.

(b) The certificate shall expire unless renewed as specified in this regulation before the expiration date. A renewal notice and application form shall be mailed to the last address of record approximately 45 calendar days before the expiration date of the certificate. Failure to receive the notice shall not relieve the certified operator of the responsibility to renew the certificate.

(c) In order to renew a certificate before it expires, the certified operator shall complete the following requirements before the expiration date of the certificate:

(1) Meet the training requirements specified in K.A.R. 28-16-31(b);

(2) submit an application for renewal on a form provided by the department; and

(3) submit the nonrefundable two-year renewal fee specified in K.A.R. 28-16-35 to the department.

(d) An expired certificate may be reinstated within two years of the expiration date, subject to K.A.R. 28-16-34(c)(1) through (3) and the reinstatement fee specified in K.A.R. 28-16-35. In each case of reinstatement, the expiration date of the reinstated operator certificate shall be the same as if the renewal requirements had been met on or before the date of expiration.

(e) Each operator certificate that is expired and is not reinstated within two years after the expiration date shall not be reinstated. Each operator failing to reinstate an expired certificate within two years after the date of expiration shall meet the requirements of K.A.R. 28-16-30, apply for examination, pay all required fees, and pass the examination in order to obtain certification.
