7440.41 - Regional Foresters and Station Directors
6. The Regional Forester's approval authority for the design of all construction,
reconstruction and modifications of effluents disposal systems is delegated to the Regional
Office Director of Engineering. This includes the responsibility to ensure coordination of State
review and approval of effluent disposal systems as necessary. The Director of Engineering may
redelegate design authority on a case-by-case basis. Forest Supervisors may submit a written
request for delegated authority to the Director of Engineering. The request will identify specific
individuals assigned to the design team and their roles and responsibilities. Criteria for
evaluating delegated authorities include design team members’ prior experience, education,
certifications and/or professional licensing, and the demonstrated ability of the design team to
conduct adequate peer review of design work.
