I SUPPORT the continued regulation of Certified Professional Wetland Delineators (PWD) by the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR) in its current form.

To often have I had to redelineate wetlands, at the extensive cost of applicants/builders as too many unexperienced 'professionals' fail to adequately delineate. With the continual changes in policy over the past several years, it is even more imperative to have a true certified professional working on behalf of both the Commonwealth and its citizens.
