Show All Water and Wastewater Treatment Operators Certification Rules — Proposed Changes
MPCA and MDH are considering rules to allow the respective agencies to grant conditional certificates to operators when a facility or system has been reclassified to a higher class due to alterations to the facility or system. Operators could qualify for the conditional certificate by successfully passing an exam. The conditional certificate would only be valid at the facility or system for which the conditional certificate is issued, but must be renewed as if it were not conditional. This would allow the facility or system operator time to gain the experience required for a regular certificate. Once the operator has met those experience requirements, a regular certificate would be issued. In addition, revocation of the conditional certificate would be addressed in the revisions.
