I will leave the correcting of  typos to others. These regulations are a step in the right direction for the Wastewater Industry. In the area of soil scientists it addresses on of the biggest flaws that is present in the Engineering Board, which is the ability to work in the wastewater field even if one may lack the appropriate background and training. In the current state any PE can design wastewater systems onsite or otherwise regardless of their professional background. We do not want to replicate what I believe is a mistake where soil science is concerned. Rather than duplicating a voluntary certification that is the CPSS it attempt further refine the skill set and knowledge requirements that are needed where onsite wastewater is concerned. With respect to someone holding a voluntary CPSS the proposed regulations provide for reduced time and training requirements in order to obtain an COSE/AOSE. Finally in the area of representation, at least two of the people on the board are currently AOSE’s and one is also a CPSS.
