7082.0700 LOCAL ISTS PROGRAMS 14 G. Certificates of compliance for new construction or a replacement system remain valid for five years from the date of issuance unless the local unit of government finds evidence of noncompliance. Subp. 4. Compliance inspection; existing systems. A. A compliance inspection of an existing system must first determine whether the soil dispersal system, sewage tanks, or other conditions pose an imminent threat to public health and safety as defined in part 7080.1500, subpart 4, item A. A determination must then be made as to whether the sewage tanks and soil dispersal area are failing to protect ground water as defined in part 7080.1500, subpart 4, item B. The inspection must also verify compliance with part 7080.1500, subpart 4, item C. B. The agency's inspection report form for existing SSTS, supplemented with any necessary or locally required supporting documentation, must be used for the existing system compliance inspections in subitems (1) to (4). Allowable supporting documentation includes tank integrity assessments made within the past three years and prior soil separation assessments. (1) A tank integrity and safety compliance assessment must be completed by a licensed SSTS inspection, maintenance, installation, or service provider business or a qualified employee inspector with jurisdiction. An existing compliant tank integrity and safety compliance assessment is valid for three years unless a new evaluation is requested by the owner or owner's agent or is required according to local regulations. (2) A soil separation compliance assessment must be completed by a licensed inspection business or a qualified employee inspector with jurisdiction. Compliance must be determined either by conducting new soil borings or by prior soil separation documentation made by two independent parties. The soil borings used for system design or previous inspections are allowed to be used. If the soil separation has been determined by two independent parties, a subsequent determination is not required unless requested by the owner or owner's agent or required according to local regulations. (3) Determination of hydraulic performance and other compliance in part 7080.1500, subpart 4, item A, must be completed by either a licensed inspection business or a qualified employee inspector with jurisdiction. (4) A determination of operational performance and other compliance in part 7080.1500, subparts 4, item C, and 5, must be completed by a licensed advanced inspection business, a qualified employee with an advanced inspector certification with jurisdiction, or a service provider. A passing report is valid until a new inspection is requested. C. A certificate of compliance or notice of noncompliance for an existing system must be based on the results of the verifications in item B. The certificate of compliance or notice of noncompliance for an existing system must be signed by a licensed inspection business or a qualified employee inspector with jurisdiction. The certificate or notice for an existing system must be submitted to the local unit of government with jurisdiction and the property owner or owner's agent no later than 15 days after a compliance inspection. The completed form must also be submitted to the owner or owner's agent. The certificate of compliance for an existing system is valid for three years from the date of issuance, unless a new inspection is requested by the owner or owner's agent or is required according to local regulations. D. If a compliance inspection for an existing system indicates that the system is noncompliant, the notice must be signed by a licensed inspection business or qualified employee inspector with jurisdiction, contain a statement of noncompliance, and specify the reasons for noncompliance of each component specified in item B.
