Oppose Repeal of the AOSE Regulations

I am a licensed Soil Scientist and Onsite Soil Evaluator having practiced in the onsite field in Va.since 1987.  As a professional in the field I have relied upon these regulations to establish the standards of practice used to determine whether a site meets the conditions set forth in the Code of Virginia under the Sewage Handling and Disposal Regulations. These regulations have direct influence on how work presented on behalf of a client is considered by the Department of Health and the procedures necessary to secure timely responses to applications. These Regulations need to be used by the DPOR WWWOOSSOP Boards for the technical, ethical, and procedural considerations which define and regulate the onsite industry in Va. and therefore should not be repealed until such time that the standards of practice are captured by DPOR in an inforcable way.
