Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35, § 380.615 - Sanctions
a) The decision
between revocation and suspension must be based on the following:
1) The severity of the violations that led to
the sanction including:
A) The frequency or
duration of the violations;
B) The
impact on the operation of the wastewater treatment works; and
C) The impact on the water quality or aquatic
life of the receiving waters.
2) The recalcitrance of the operator in
preventing the recurrence of the violations.
3) Any other mitigating or aggravating
factors.
b) If a
Certificate of Technical Competency is suspended, it shall be considered void
for a period of time not to exceed a year and a half. This period shall be set
according to the factors listed in subsection (a). Experience obtained during
this period shall not be credited towards meeting the requirements described in
Subpart E. At the end of this period the suspended certificate shall be
considered valid.
c) If a
Certificate of Technical Competency is revoked, the operator may not reapply
for any certificate for a period of not less than one and a half years but not
more than 4 years. This period shall be set according to the factors listed in
subsection (a).
d) After a
Certificate of Technical Competency is revoked, an operator may not apply for a
certificate until after the period set pursuant to subsection (c) has elapsed.
In order to obtain a certificate the operator must successfully complete a
written examination for the class of certificate sought. Education and
wastewater operator experience gained prior to revocation shall be credited
towards meeting the requirements described in Subpart E. However, any
experience obtained during the period set pursuant to subsection (c) will not
be credited towards certification.
