Subject: Reclassification of Water Pollution Control System
PPG Industries Wastewater Treatment Facility
Permit No. NC0004685
Cleveland County
Dear Mr. Ballard:
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute § 9OA-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
November 27, 2000. 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.
