stop-date, the licensed mold remediation contractor or company shall
provide the property owner with copies of required photographs of
the scene of the mold remediation taken before and after the remediation.
(b) Not later than ten calendar days after the project

and analytical evaluation, the mold contamination identified for the
project has been remediated as outlined in the mold remediation protocol;
and

cause of the mold has been remediated, if the licensed mold assessment
consultant determines that the underlying cause of the mold has been
remediated so that it is reasonably certain that the mold will not
return from that same cause.

Remediation is signed by a licensed mold assessment consultant on
mold remediation projects that may be legally performed by unlicensed
persons, certifying the property does not contain evidence of mold
damage.

mold remediation company or contractor shall retain copies of the
completed certificate in their business files in accordance with the
requirements in §78.74.
