Installer Definition more limited
 

In the revised agency background document, the alternative onsite sewage system installer definition removed the language concerning treatment works and point source discharge. The board wrote that the types of systems "which can be installed are not as limited but instead broadly covered by the terms "conventional and onsite sewage systems,"  My feeling is that the definition is now more limited since conventional and alternative systems are not considered discharging systems.  If the agency changed the definition so that there was more options and systems included, then this definition does not accomplish the goal.
