IV of ch. NR 114, relating to certification of waterworks and wastewater treatment plant operators by the Department of Natural Resources.
Effective 7-1-14, in part, and 7-1-15, in part.
Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
Based on the analysis, the Department determined that few, if any, small businesses would be affected by the proposed changes in wastewater treatment plant operator certification requirements. Small cheese factories may be the best example of a small business that would have wastewater treatment and management needs. Many of these small dairies land apply their wastewater and thus are excluded from operator certification requirements.
A positive effect on small business will be additional training opportunities for consultants and private trainers to provide advanced training (on-line or classroom) to operators, especially those seeking advanced certification through education. The requirement for municipal collection systems to have a certified operator will result in the development of sanitary sewer collection system classes by wastewater education based businesses and technical colleges for municipal operators who will need this certification in the next 5-10 years.
