North Carolina Board for Licensing of Soil Scientists
In 1995, the N.C. General Assembly passed House Bill 826, "An
Act to Provide for the Licensing of Soil Scientists". The North Carolina Soil
Scientist Licensing Act (N.C. General Statutes 89F) defines the practice of soil
science and establishes standards and requirements for licensing of soil scientists.
The practice of soil science as defined encompasses many activities related to environmental
quality.
