WWWOOSSP REGULATIONS
 

In my 45 years of practice as a professional I have never seen such a mountian of useless bureacreatic  retoritic.  Again the government is trying to dictate personal responsibility in the guise of protection of the public.

I personally know septic installers that do excellent work and really and truly know what they are doing but, for lack of education (not experence) and book sense they are being penalized and put  out of business.  For the love of god go back and see if you can simplify this. The standard of practice is good if one adheres to it they will stay in business.

We have "Master" bureacratic writers with no concept of what the real world is all about.  The "board" has no clue as well as the public. Who in the public sector has read this??

It appears that a "great cause" was to bring soil and health professionals to think alike it now has been promoted by the government and special interest groups as a "business" and is now a full fledged "racket". 

Your freedom to do your job as professional job has been usurped.
