Revise paragraph M as follows:

 

Justification:  It is very important that a field evaluation protocol be appropriately administered and completed.  Ths would allow any manufacturer that is undergoing field performance testing in VA to get General Approval upon successful completion.  It is not necessary to include TL-2 since any system that has completed NSF Std 40 testing already meets the requirement. 

 

 

M. After the effective date of this chapter, new applications for general approval for TL-2 or TL-3 shall be subject to the requirements of this chapter. The department may continue to evaluate any treatment unit for small AOSSs for meeting TL-3 that is undergoing field performance evaluation in Virginia as of the effective date of this chapter using the protocol in place on the date of application for general approval.
