Which of the following is NOT a reason for the DEQ to deny a service provider license?

The reason selected—failure to complete a training course—is not a basis for the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to deny a service provider license. While training is certainly important for ensuring that service providers are knowledgeable and capable of performing their duties effectively, it is not listed as a mandatory requirement that directly leads to the denial of a license.

In contrast, critical factors such as the failure to maintain required insurance, engaging in fraud or deceit in submitted forms, and not maintaining a current license with the DEQ all directly relate to compliance and ethical standards that are essential for operating as a service provider in the heating oil tank sector. These aspects demonstrate an individual's commitment to professional integrity and adherence to regulations, making them necessary conditions for obtaining and maintaining a license. Therefore, falling short in these areas would provide just cause for the DEQ to deny a license.
