The amount of the bond shall be established by administrative regulation promulgated by the cabinet. The cabinet shall be the obligee, and the bond shall be for the benefit and purpose to protect all persons and the environment damaged by faulty workmanship in the servicing or maintaining of sewage pretreatment units, grease traps, or holding tanks, or in the disposal of sewage sludge, and shall guarantee the appearance of the licensee to answer any summons within thirty (30) days of notice to the bonding company of the issuance of summons. Bonds shall be conditioned upon the performance of the services in a workmanlike manner, and in a manner which will not create a public health hazard nor damage the environment.
