Dear Mr. Nalley:
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 Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission has determined that the
subject facility is classified as a Grade III Biological Water Pollution Control Treatment System (WW-III)
[15A NCAC 08G .0302(c)]. At this time the ORC designated for this facility meets the requirement
however a backup ORC with a WW-2 or higher will need to be designated. System owners must
designate a certified backup ORC within 120 days of notification of a change in classification. [15A NCAC
08G .0201(3)(b)].
If you have any questions concerning this classification or the designation of operators, please contact
me at 919-707-9038, or via email at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
NC Operators Certification Program
