Public and private treatment works owners shall complete and submit the resolution or owner statement with the CMAR. No point assignments are associated with this CMAR section.
NR 208.05(4) (4)Calculation of cmar grade point average (gpa). A grade point average shall be determined for each wastewater treatment works required to submit a CMAR. The grade point average shall be calculated as follows: multiply the CMAR section grade points associated with the letter grades for each section as shown in table 1 by the corresponding section weighting factor provided in table 2; add the resulting values determined for all the sections; divide the value determined by the sum of all the weighting factors used in calculating the individual section values.
G.P.A. = Sum (section grade points x section weighting factor) Sum of the applicable section weighting factors
