Rewrite of the Draft Soil Handbook
The Draft Soil Handbook is a rewrite of an existing handbook. This draft is reflective of many changes within the regulatory structure and onsite sewage disposal industry over the last several years. This handbook covers requirements for being an approved soil consultant, how to delineate areas of similar soil, how to present the information, how to conduct special investigations, and the disciplinary process involving soil mapping errors.
