Dear Mr. Walker:
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 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 permitted flow and biological
nutrient reduction limits.
The Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission has
determined that the subject facilities are classified as Grade 4 Biological
Water Pollution Control Treatment System.
As required by 15A NCAC 8G .0202 and your permit, you must designate a
Grade 4 or higher Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) and a Back-up
Operator with at least a Grade 3 certification of the appropriate type and grade
for these facilities. Please complete and return the enclosed designation forms,
so we may update our database of any changes at these facilities by August
01, 1999. The Authorization to Construct that you received requires no
classification change for your facility.
