30 Tex. Admin. Code § 30.331 - Purpose and Applicability
(a) The
purpose of this subchapter is to establish qualifications for issuing and
renewing licenses and registrations to:
(1)
domestic wastewater treatment facility operators;
(2) wastewater collection system operators;
and
(3) companies that operate
these facilities on a contract basis.
(b) Persons that operate, assist in the
operation, or contract to operate domestic wastewater treatment facilities or
supervise wastewater collection activities, other than an operator-in-training,
must be licensed or registered and meet the qualifications of this subchapter
and Subchapter A of this chapter (relating to Administration of Occupational
Licenses and Registrations); and must comply with the requirements in Chapter
217 of this title (relating to Design Criteria for Domestic Wastewater
Systems), Chapter 317 of this title (relating to Design Criteria Prior to

commission.
(c) Operators are
responsible for performing adequate process control of wastewater treatment and
collection facilities.
(d) All
Class D and Class I licenses previously issued to operators who do not possess
a high school diploma or equivalent, may still be renewed according to §
30.342 of this title (relating to
Qualifications for License Renewal).
(e) An individual who has an honorary license
shall not operate a domestic wastewater treatment facility or supervise a
wastewater collection system.
(f)
The holder of a license or registration is not subject to revocation or
suspension of a license or registration if the licensed operator or registered
company is unable to properly operate the wastewater treatment or collection
facility due to:
(1) the refusal of the
permittee to authorize the necessary funds to operate the wastewater treatment
or collection facility properly; or
(2) the failure of the wastewater treatment
or collection facility to comply with its wastewater disposal permit resulting
from faulty design or construction of the facility.
