D. A journeyman onsite soil evaluator must work under the direct supervision of a master onsite soil evaluator. A master onsite soil evaluator of an equal or greater class is responsible for supervising the provision of onsite soil evaluations and designs by any journeyman onsite soil evaluator under his responsibility.

Who will accept legal responsibility for the completed final work product; Journeyman or Master?

Based on the plain english reading, it appears as if the Board is trying to place all legal responsibility on the Journeyman.

SUGGESTION:  add language to indicate that the MASTER shall sign all legal documents and proposed onsite soil evaluations and designs.
