Who regulates this work in Arkansas
Arkansas licenses this work at state level and nowhere else. There is no county license anywhere in the state, which is the opposite of how Georgia does it. Designing a system and installing one are two different licenses, and an installer has to be employed by a licensed septic business rather than working alone.
