CR-102 filed
Amendments to language only. No fee amendments. Amendments are being proposed to correct and clarify language throughout chapter 196-26A WAC. Chapter 196-30 WAC will be repealed due to the large amount of language that is a duplication of language found in chapter 196-26A WAC, and any specific language regarding on-site wastewater treatment system designers will be moved into chapter 196-26A WAC. Amendments also describe the type of requested information when applying for initial and renewal applications for professional engineers, land surveyors, and on-site wastewater designers and inspectors.
Additional rule development activity not on the agenda may occur as conditions warrant.
