I would like to express my opposition at repealing the Authorized Onsite Soil Evaluator (AOSE) Regulations through the Fast Track process.  While I agree that there is much within the AOSE Regulations that is outdated, especially with the Onsite Soil Evaluators moving from VDH certification over to DPOR as licensed professionals, the roles and responsibilites of OSEs need to addressed and the AOSE Regulations should not be repealed until a mechanism is in place in which these roles and responsibilities are clearly defined by Regulation and enforced by DPOR.  Currently OSEs work in both the public (VDH) sector as well as the private sector.  The roles and responsibilities of OSEs should be enforced equally across the board no matter whether the OSE is employed by VDH or works in the private sector.  Without a set of regulatory standards in place, it will be much more difficult for DPOR to enforce the same standards equally among both the private and public sector.
