PROPOSED CHANGE

18VAC160-40-10. Definitions.

"Direct supervision"  means the responsibility for the direct control and conduct of a subordinate being immediately available and fully responsible for the provision of onsite sewage system services regulated pursuant to Chapter 23 (§ 54.1-2300 et seq.) of Title 54.1 and this chapter .

Reasoning:  SOIL EVALUATION requires DIrect control by a licensed professional.  The act of describing morphological characterization of soils requires more than a 4 day "soils camp" to be proficient.  You have modified this definition to benefit VDH and their hiring of untrained, unlicensed persons.   

Such information can be retreived from WWWOOSP minutes during the September 27, 2011.  Wherein Mr. Knapp, VDH explains that the Board's interpretation is a FINANCIAL HARDSHIP to the AGENCY.
