(c) The bottom section of the Certificate of Mold Damage 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.
(d) The mold assessment company or consultant and the mold remediation company or contractor shall retain copies of the completed certificate in their business files in accordance with the requirements in §78.74.
