The Water Quality Control Division (Division) recently developed a Fact Sheet to help answer the following question.
Q: My industrial wastewater treatment facility is predominantly biological treatment technology. Are there options for the certified Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC)?
A: The answer is yes. Industrial wastewater treatment facilities with predominantly biological methods in use to treat organic and inorganic constituents may request the Water and Wastewater Facility Operators Certification Board (Board) to allow a substitution of a certified ORC with a Class A domestic wastewater treatment certification for compliance with an industrial wastewater facility classification.
For more information on qualifications and how to submit a request to the Board, please refer to this Fact Sheet. This Fact Sheet can also be found on the division’s facility classification webpage, below the wastewater treatment and collection system classifications table.
For questions about the Fact Sheet or its contents, feel free to contact Jessica Morgan (cdphe.facilityoperator@state.co.us) or David Kurz (david.kurz@state.co.us).
