Subject: Reclassification of Water Pollution Control System
City of Lenoir Gunpowder Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility
Permit No. NC0023736
Caldwell County
Dear Mr. Hipp:
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 3 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. Your facility requires a Grade 3 or higher Wastewater Treatment Plant
Operator in Responsible Charge and Grade 2 or higher Back-up Operator. Please complete and
return the enclosed ORC designation form by March 01, 2001. 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 does not affect current monitoring requirements for
this facility. A change in monitoring requirements would require a permit modification.
