These regulations need to be amended. Processing of applications should consider todays business environment where there are different types of customers with different needs. The entire regulation is based on the assumption that the owner of a single lot needs a permit to build a new septic system or repair an old one and the health department will be the provider of the service, the permit issuer and inspector.  These regulations are not friendly to businesses providing private sector designs or builders who are not going to be the occupant of the property. Regulations do not reflect the current business model of the Health Department but are essential to public health. 

Most importantly, there are multiple regulations and policies at VDH that referr to or are supplemental to other regulations and policies that are inconsistent and require daily interpretation from central office and local staff which is a waste of time and resources. (in my opinion). VDH seems to be afraind to issue black and white regulations and policy.  Anytbhing that is not enforceable needs to be removed from the regulation.
