Please contact Mark Bauer if you have any question or ideas about past questions, or items that may need additional emphasis on the certification exams.
NDEE staff and members of the Onsite Wastewater Advisory Committee will also be reviewing and proposing updates and modifications to the Title 124 regulations for consideration during 2018. These revisions will range from simple corrections to major updates of items such as: design of alternative treatment systems, mound system design, inspections, etc. As details of the proposed revisions are developed, NDEE will distribute them for review and comments. |
