Subject: OPERATOR DESIGNATION ISSUES
NPDES Permit Number: NCO088889
Hopson Downs Subdivision - Well #4
Facility Classification: PC-1
Wake County
Dear Mr. Becker:
A review of the Division of Water Resource's NPDES permit records reveals the operator designation
issue(s) checked below:
® No Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) designated
❑ No Back-up ORC designated
❑ No designated ORC-or Back-up ORQ for this classified facility
❑ [OPERATOR NAME] (CERT. #): INVALID - no longer designated as of expiration
❑ [OPERATOR NAME] (CERT. #): SUPERSEDED - update operator designation, if appropriate
North Carolina Administrative Code Title 15A Subchapter 8G Section .0201 requires an owner of a
classified water pollution control system to designate one ORC and one or more Back-up ORCs
certified by the Water Pollution Control System (WPCs) Operators Certification Commission
(Commission) of the appropriate type and grade for the treatment system. The rule also requires the
owner to submit a signed completed "Water Pollution Control System Operator Designation Form" to
the Commission countersigned by the designated certified operators within 120 calendar days
following a vacancy in the position of ORC or Back-up ORC and within seven calendar days of
vacancies in both ORC and Back-up ORC positions.
Please contact Jenee Williamston with the Division's Operator Certification Unit at 919-707-9089 or
via email at [e-mail] to discuss and resolve the issue(s) noted above.
Operating a water pollution control system without a designated certified operator is a violation of
15A NCAC 08G .0201.
Please be aware that non-compliance with your permit could result in enforcement action by the
Division of Water Resources for these and any additional violations of state law. The Raleigh
Regional Office encourages you to take all necessary actions to bring your system into compliance.
