CP&L Sutton Steam Electric Plant
Mr. Doug Sullivan

Subject: Reclassification of Water Pollution Control System
Sutton Steam Electric Wastewater Treatment Facility
Permit No. NC0001422
Onslow County
Dear Mr. Sullivan:
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 1 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 1 or higher Wastewater Treatment Plant
Operator in Responsible Charge and Grade 1 or higher Back-up Operator. Failure to designate a
properly certified ORC and Back-up Operator 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. This
biological classification will be effective until this facility receives a physical/chemical
classification.
