EXAM FACTS

In 2005, OTCO was invited to be involved with the administration of the 2006 STS Exams for the Ohio Department of Health.

In 2013, OTCO was invited again to be involved with the re-administration of the 2014 revised STS Exam for the Ohio Department of Health.

In 2020, OTCO decided to offer education on wastewater treatment that is approved by the Ohio Department of Health to meet the annual requirements for the continuing education for STS professionals.

No matter if you are an ODH STS Professional Operator or an OEPA Certified Professional Wastewater Operator, your goals are the same; to return wastewater to acceptable level to be returned back to nature:

  • Hauler who transports wastewater to a local OEPA permitted Wastewater Treatment Plant
  • Installer who installs Septic Systems or Sewage Treatment Systems
  • Service Providers who repair Septic Systems or Sewage Treatment Systems that discharge to nature
