The department may require that a registered professional engineer be present during other critical construction activities. NR 503.10(5)(b)(b) Substitution of personnel under par. (a) shall only occur due to substandard performance, vacations or uncontrollable circumstances such as injury, illness, employee termination or resignation. Where justified by the size of the construction project, multiple registered professional engineers or qualified technicians may be deployed concurrently. NR 503.10(5)(c)(c) A certification section shall be included as the first section of any construction documentation report prepared for the construction or closure of a portion of a landfill and shall include the following: NR 503.10(5)(c)1.1.
