1) specify the current certificate's expiration date, training requirements for certificate renewal, and number of hours of completed training since the current certificate was issued;

2) contain a statement signed by the operator certifying that all information provided in the renewal application form is true and complete; and

3) be submitted to the Agency on or before July 1 of the year in which the certificate expires.

e) The Agency will not process incomplete renewal application forms or renewal applications without the wastewater operator's original signature.

f) Falsification of a renewal application form shall result in denial of certificate renewal and may result in certificate suspension or revocation.
