| (a) General provision. A mold remediation contractor
or company shall notify the department or the department's representative
or designee of a mold remediation, as defined in §78.10(29),
when mold contamination affects a total surface area of 25 contiguous
square feet or more. The notification shall be:
(1) submitted to the department or its representative
or designee no less than five calendar days before the anticipated
start date of the mold remediation. The mold remediation contractor
or company shall retain a confirmation that the department received
the notification;
(2) submitted on a department-approved form in a manner
specified by the department. The form must be filled out completely
and properly. Blanks that do not apply shall be marked "N/A." The
"N/A" designation will not be accepted for identification of the work
site, building description, building owner, individuals required to
be identified on the notification form, start- and stop-dates, or
scheduled hours of mold remediation;
(3) completed to identify the responsible person; and
(4) accompanied by the fee required under §78.80.
(b) Start-date change to later date. When mold remediation
activity is rescheduled to start later than the date or hours contained
in the most recent notice, the mold remediation contractor or company
shall submit a notification to the department in the manner specified
by the department as soon as possible but before the start-date on
the most recent notice. A written amended notification is required
and shall be submitted in the manner specified by the department.
(c) Start-date change to earlier date. When mold remediation
activities begin on a date earlier than the date contained in the
notice, the mold remediation contractor or company shall submit a
notification to the department of the new start-date in the manner
specified by the department at least five calendar days before the
start-date unless the provisions of subsection (e) apply.
(d) Start-date/stop-date requirement.
(1) In no event shall mold remediation begin or be
completed on a date other than the date contained in the written notice
except for operations covered under subsection (e).
(2) Amendments to start-dates must be submitted as
required in subsections (b) and (c). The cancellation of a mold remediation
project shall follow the requirements applicable to a start-date change
to a later date.
(3) The mold remediation contractor or company shall
submit a notification with schedule changes including work-hour changes
to the department no less than one calendar day before the most recent
stop-date or the new stop-date, whichever comes first.
(4) An amendment is required for any stop-dates that
change by more than one workday.
(e) Provision for emergency. An emergency exists if
a delay in mold remediation services in response to a water damage
occurrence would increase mold contamination.
(1) In an emergency, the mold remediation contractor
or company shall submit a notification to the department as soon as
practicable but not later than the following working day after the
licensee identifies the emergency.
(2) The requirements of this section are applicable
to an emergency with the exception of paragraph (a)(1). The contractor
or company shall retain a confirmation that the notification was received
by the department.
