BOARD FOR WATERWORKS AND WASTEWATER WORKS OPERATORS AND ONSITE SEWAGE SYSTEM PROFESSIONALS

Action Withdrawn

Title of Regulation: 18VAC160-40. Onsite Sewage System Professionals Licensing Regulations (amending 18VAC160-40-40).

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

The Board for Waterworks and Wastewater Works Operators and Onsite Sewage System Professionals has WITHDRAWN the regulatory action for 18VAC160-40, Onsite Sewage System Professionals Licensing Regulations, which was published as a Notice of Intended Regulatory Action in 38:12 VA.R. 1177-1178 January 31, 2022. The purpose of the proposed action was to adjust license application, renewal, and reinstatement fees for onsite sewage system operator, onsite sewage system installer, and onsite soil evaluator licenses. As a result of changes to the way the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation allocates expenses to its regulatory boards, the board voted on October 23, 2025, to withdraw this action and instead initiate a new regulatory action to adjust fees in conformance with the new treatment of expenses by the department.
