The Environmental Quality Board seeks public comment on proposed repeal of 25 Pa. Code §§301, 303 and 305, relating to general provisions; certification of operators; and plant requirements; and creation of 25 Pa. Code §302, relating to administration of the water and wastewater systems operations' certification program. The regulations describe the process the State Board for Certification of Water and Wastewater System Operators will follow to administer the program and identify the duties and responsibilities of the Department of Environmental Protection and the operators and owners of the commonwealth's drinking water and wastewater treatment systems. The regulations also establish standards for operator certification, recertification, certification renewal and security training; define the certification renewal period and requirements for certification renewal; establish appropriate fees; and define classifications and subclassifications for certification. Comments are due August 10, 2009. http://www.pabulletin.com/secure/data/vol39/39-28/1272.html.
