Individuals working as DR or in any capacity for an OSSF cannot work as which of the following?

In the context of On-Site Sewage Facilities (OSSF), individuals who are working as a Designated Representative (DR) or in any capacity directly involved with OSSF operations are prohibited from working as a designer for a fee. This restriction is primarily in place to ensure that there are no conflicts of interest, as a DR's role involves oversight and regulatory compliance regarding the design and installation of sewage systems. Allowing someone in a supervisory or regulatory position to also serve as a paid designer could compromise the integrity of the oversight process and create potential biases in the evaluation of designs and implementations.

The roles of inspector and site surveyor, while related to the OSSF field, do not involve creating designs for a fee, and thus individuals can serve in those capacities separate from their responsibilities as a DR. Similarly, explorers do not have a direct conflict related to the design and oversight of wastewater systems. This structure helps maintain clear boundaries that uphold the integrity and safety of sewage management operations.
