Operator Certification Program - Advisory Committee

• The Water Code authorizes the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) to appoint a group of subject matter experts to assist the SWRCB in carrying out its duties regarding wastewater treatment plant operator certification and training. The SWRCB has maintained an Advisory Committee since 1972. Each of the nine Advisory Committee members is nominated to represent a particular segment of the wastewater treatment field. The nominations are presented for a vote of the SWRCB at a publicly noticed meeting. Once appointed, each member serves a four-year term. The Advisory Committee generally meets in January and June with additional meetings scheduled as necessary. Membership includes:
  
• Two people from a statewide organization representing wastewater treatment plant operators and supervisors who are employed in a wastewater treatment plant as an operator or supervisor;
  
• Two people from statewide organizations representing municipalities, including counties or private utility wastewater treatment plants;
  
• Two people from statewide organizations representing local sanitation agencies, other than agencies which represent municipalities, including counties or private utility wastewater treatment plants;
  
• A professional engineer specializing in sanitary engineering;
  
• A person from a university or state university school or division of engineering; and
  
• A member of an organized labor union which represents wastewater treatment plant operators
