A system may satisfy the requirements for a certified operator under chapter 34A-3 by agreement with a contract operator if the contract conforms with the provisions of §§ 74:21:02:68 and 74:21:02:69 and has been approved by the board. The system shall file with the secretary of the board at least 21 days before the next regularly scheduled board meeting a request for approval of a contract operator together with a copy of the contract and proof of compliance with §§ 74:21:02:68 and 74:21:02:69. The secretary shall add the matter to the agenda of that board meeting and shall provide written notice of the meeting to the system and the contract operator at least 14 days before the meeting. If the board finds the proposal to conform with §§ 74:21:02:68 and 74:21:02:69, it shall approve the contract only for compliance with SDCL chapter 34A-3.
