Only Licensed Professional Soil Scientists should be conducting soil morphologic/cartographic, soil genesis interpretaions, classification and etcetera for submittal of professional reports and recommendations. When the Health Department came out with the AOSE program many years ago, it messed everything up from a professional standpoint. DPOR should scrap the OSE program and make it simple by only allowing LPSS's to conduct the work as specified within the DPOR LPSS regulations. DPOR should allow any existing licensed OSE to qualify to site for the LPSS exam only. LPSS's are scientists with proven knowledge of the dicipline of soil science and anyone with the title of LPSS should have to pass the exam.
