wastewater facility operator applicants must have a high school diploma or have
successfully completed the high school equivalency examination, as defined in
section 22-33-102 (8.5), C.R.S.; except that experience or relevant training may be
substituted for the high school diploma or successful completion of the high school
equivalency examination. Education, training as established under section 25-9-104
(2), and cross-experience may be substituted for experience requirements for
certification as a water facility operator, as a water distribution system operator, as
a domestic wastewater facility operator, as a wastewater collection system
operator, as an industrial wastewater treatment facility operator, or as a multiple
facility operator; except that at least fifty percent of any experience requirement
must be met by actual on-site operating experience in a water facility or a
wastewater facility, as the case may be. For the lowest classification of operator in
each category, the board may establish rules allowing complete substitution of
education for experience for any applicant who passes the applicable examination.
For purposes of this section, cross-experience means that experience as a
wastewater treatment facility operator may be substituted for experience
requirements for certification as a water treatment facility operator and vice versa.
