(a) A public or private water or wastewater system must be actively supervised as described in (b) of this section each day that the system operates by an operator certified by the department under 18 AAC 74.050 - 18 AAC 74.170. A supervising operator of

(b) Except as provided in (c) and (d) of this section, a supervising operator described in (a) of this section shall be on-site at the system during normal working hours for that system. If the supervising operator must be absent from the system to attend to system-related business or other routine activities, the supervising operator shall be available to respond by radio or telephone to initiate appropriate action in a timely manner to protect human health, safety, and welfare. After normal working hours, the supervising operator shall be available to respond by radio or telephone.

(c) If the supervising operator cannot be present or available to respond as required in (b) of this section, the system owner shall designate another operator who is certified at the correct level under 18 AAC 74.050 - 18 AAC 74.120 to assume the supervising operator's duties.

(d) Department approval is required for a method of system supervision other than that described in (b) and (c) of this section. The department will approve, with terms and conditions, or will deny a request under this subsection after considering recommendations of the board.
