Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the Board for Waterworks and Wastewater Works Operators and Onsite Sewage System Professionals intends to consider amending 18VAC160-20, Board for Waterworks and Wastewater Works Operators and Onsite Sewage System Professionals Regulations. The Board for Waterworks and Wastewater Works Operators and Onsite Sewage System Professionals will conduct a general review of the regulations. In conformance with Chapters 892 and 924 of the 2007 Acts of Assembly, the board established a program for licensing individuals as onsite soil evaluators, onsite sewage system installers, and onsite sewage system operators. This program was incorporated into the regulations governing waterworks and wastewater works operators. As the regulations have not undergone cumulative review since the inclusion of the onsite sewage program in 2009, a thorough review is necessary to ensure that the regulation complements current Virginia law, provides minimal burdens on regulants while still protecting the public, and reflects current procedures and policies of the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation and current industry standards.

The agency intends to hold a public hearing on the proposed action after publication in the Virginia Register.

Statutory Authority: §§ 54.1-201 and 54.1-2301 of the Code of Virginia.
