    OPINION AND ORDER OF
    THE
    BOARD
    (by
    Mr.
    Dumelie):
    The Complaint in
    this
    case alleges that Respondent owns and
    operates
    a sewage treatment plant which
    is not under the direct
    supervision of an operator certified by the Agency.
    This con-
    stitutes a violation of Rule 1201 of Chapter
    3: Water Pollution of
    the Board’s Rules and Regulations.
    A hearing was held on Septem-
    ber 25, 1978 in the Village Hall
    in Tallula.
    No members of the
    public were present.
    At the hearing the parties offered a Statement of Stipulated
    Settlement to resolve this case.
    The stipulation states that
    Respondent has operated a sewage treatment facility consisting of
    three aerated lagoons since
    1972.
    This facility requires a Class
    D Agency certified operator.
    Since September
    1, 1974 Respondent
    has not employed a certified operator.
    A copy of
    a contract,
    attached as Exhibit A,
    shows that a certified operator was retained
    on
    May 2,
    1978.
    A penalty of $250.
    is proposed in the stipulation.
    The Board accepts
    the stipulation as
    a satisfactory resolu-
    tion of this case.
    Paragraphs
    8-li of the stipulation provide
    a framework
    for consideration of the factors
    in Section 33(c)
    of the Act.
    After a review of those factors,
    the proposed
    penalty appears reasonable.
    This Opinion constitutes the Board’s findings of fact
    and conclusions of law in this case.
