The Water Pollution Control System Certification Commission has classified the subject facility as
a Grade 3 Biological Water Pollution Control Treatment System.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 8G .0202 and your permit, you must designate an Operator in
Responsible Charge (ORC) and Back -Up Operator who has a current certification of the appropriate
type and grade for this system. Your facility requires a Grade 3 or higher Wastewater Treatment
Plant Operator in Responsible Charge and Grade 2 or higher Back -Up Operator. Failure to
designate a properly certified operator and back-up operator constitutes a violation of the permit
issued for this facility. The Technical Assistance and Certification Unit routinely updates the
facility designation database in our office. Our records indicate that this facility does not have a
current designation form on file. Enclosed is a new designation form. Please complete this
designation form and submit it to this office by May 03, 2001.
If you have any questions concerning this update or the designation of an ORC, please contact me at
919/733-0026 ext. 315.
