Does the WWWOOSSP Board have authority to require OSE licensure despite the APELS Board regulation of professional engineers? The proposed text specifies anyone designing onsite systems must hold the onsite soil evaluator license. This language further supports our contention that the OSE license belongs at APELS.
18VAC160-40-230. License required.
A. Notwithstanding the provisions of Chapter 4 (§ 54.1-400 et seq.) of Title 54.1 of the Code of Virginia, no
individual shall [ evaluate soils and soil properties for suitability as locations for or design conventional or
