Soil Scientist are the states most important people when it comes to protecting Virginias environment and watershed. Soil Scientist are the last line of defence and the ONLY people that know where septic drainfields can safely be installed. It is 100% vital that Soil Scientist continue their job so that we can keep Virginia Water as clean and safe as possible. Especially in hard times like this when people are leaving Washington DC for rural areas to build new homes Soil Scientist have to have a strong presence so that we can continue to place septic drainfields in the safest most environmentally friendly areas so that the Virginia water table/shed can continue to be clean and safe for everyone. Without them or their knowledge of Virginia soils it would become a very unsafe practice for the construction of septic drainfields. Soil Scientist in Virginia are VERY IMPORTANT for sustaining and keeping Virginia's water safe.
