New OSSF licenses are issued for a term of how many years?

New On-Site Sewage Facility (OSSF) licenses are issued for a term of three years. This duration is designed to ensure that licensed individuals remain knowledgeable about current regulations, technologies, and best practices in the field, which can evolve over time. A three-year term provides a sufficient period for practicing professionals to gain experience while also allowing for periodic renewal that may include requirements such as continuing education. This approach enhances the overall competency of OSSF installers, which contributes to better environmental protection and public health outcomes.
