(b) A licensed designer shall witness and inspect the installation of any individual sewage
disposal system that he or she designed. The licensing authority may, in accordance
with regulation, waive this requirement for good cause, including the designer's death
or incapacity.
(c) A licensed designer shall certify to the licensing authority that the individual sewage
disposal system was installed in conformance with the approved application, plans,
specifications, applicable statutes and regulations, and that he or she has witnessed
and inspected the installation. Upon the certification, the licensed designer shall
be responsible for the installation. The certification shall not be construed to release
the installer from liability. The licensed designer shall not be responsible for any
negligent act or omission of a user of an ISDS, which causes damage to the ISDS, including
altering of site conditions after certification of installation, failing to properly
maintain the ISDS, or failing to protect the ISDS from physical disturbance causing
