The average annual effluent discharge concentrations

are given as 24 mg/l

BOD

and 36 mg/l SB compared to

design specifications of 10/12, respectively.

What

take the exam and when

are

the

exams

given?

Does

meet

all

requirements

other

than

passiny

the

exam?

3.

hiring a Class I operator on either a part time

or full time basis?
