Explanation

(This amendment adds $200,000 from the general fund the second year to restore funding that was reduced in the introduced budget for the purchase of soil evaluations from soil scientists. The use of independent soil scientists is critical for training Environmental Health Specialists in the evaluation of building sites for sewage disposal systems and problem areas for sewage disposal systems, seepage disposal sites and related land use, as well as providing an independent third party to assist in arbitrating disputes between Health Department staff, landowners and developers.)
