Subject: Reclassification of Water Pollution Control System
Leiths Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility
Permit No. NC0020656
Scotland County
Dear Mr. Ellis:
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute § 90A-37, the Water Pollution
Control System Operators Certification Commission is required to classify all water
pollution control systems. The rating scale for classification of Biological Water
Pollution Control Treatment Systems, found at 15A NCAC 8G .0302, was adopted by
the Commission to classify water pollution control systems. The classification of a
facility is determined by the permitted flow and the requirement to achieve biological
nutrient reduction.
The Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission hereby
reclassifies the subject facility as a Grade 4 Biological Water Pollution Control
Treatment System.
As required by 15A NCAC 8G .0202 and your permit, you must designate an Operator
in Responsible Charge (ORC) and Back-up Operator of the appropriate type and grade
for the subject facility within 120 calendar days following notification of a change in
classification. Your facility requires a Grade 4 Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator
in Responsible Charge and Grade 3 or higher Back-up Operator. Please submit to this
office by February 18, 2001 the projected date when certified operators will be
designated or complete and return the enclosed designation form if properly certified
operators have already been employed.. Failure to designate a properly certified ORC
and Back-up Operator by the above date constitutes a violation of the permit issued for
this facility. This reclassification is based on the current issuance of the facility's
NPDES permit.
