	  e.   	 The applicant shall provide proof of certification, training or approval from the manufacturers or suppliers of underground liquid storage tank systems for which the applicant is requesting a license to install or upgrade including, but not limited to:
	 (1) 	 Tank systems.
	 (2) 	 Piping systems.
	 (3) 	 Leak detection and monitoring systems.
	 (4) 	 Corrosion protection systems.
	  f.   	 The applicant shall not have been issued a certificate of noncompliance from the child support recovery unit.
	 134.22(2) Responsibilities of installers. A licensed installer shall be on site during the performance of all work, including subcontracted work, for which the owner/operator has contracted to have completed by the installer. A licensed installer does not need to be on site during paving, site grade preparations or when electrical work is being conducted. If removal is a part of the work being completed by or subcontracted by the installer, these same rules apply. Work on the site may be subcontracted by the licensed installer to another person or firm. The licensed installer is responsible for the integrity of the complete installation under the control of the licensed installer. Tank installation includes all work associated with the placement of the tanks, pipes, pumps, dispensers, gauging systems, monitoring systems, corrosion protection, containment devices, and ancillary systems which, if installed incorrectly, could cause or delay detection of a leak. This specifically includes excavation, equipment placement, backfilling, piping, electrical work, paving, testing calibration and start-up.
	 134.22(3) Documentation of work performed, installers and liners. Installations of all new systems or upgrading to meet U.S. EPA or 591—11.4(455G) requirements of underground liquid storage tank systems requires the submission to the department of a copy of the new owner-signed DNR Form 148 by the licensed company. Each licensed installer or liner responsible for the new system installation or the upgrading of an existing system shall sign the DNR Form 148 as required by 567—paragraph 135.3(3)“e.”
