CERTIFICATION STATEMENT:
"I certify, under penalty of law, that the following
							 were met (check boxes, as applicable):
[] The pollutant ceiling concentration limits in WAC
							 173-308-160 Table 1.
[] The pollutant concentration limits in WAC
							 173-308-160 Table 3.
[] The Class A pathogen reduction requirements in WAC
							 173-308-170: [](1), [](2), [](3),
							 [](4).
[] The Class B pathogen reduction requirements in WAC
							 173-308-170: [](5), [](6),
							 [](7).
[] The vector attraction reduction requirements in
							 WAC 173-308-180: [](1), [](2), [](3),
							 [](4), [](5), [](6).
This determination was made under my direction and
							 supervision in accordance with a system designed to ensure that qualified
							 personnel properly gather and evaluate the information used to determine that
							 pathogen reduction requirements, vector attraction reduction requirements, and
							 pollutant concentration limits have been met. I am aware that there are
							 significant penalties for false certification including the possibility of fine
							 and imprisonment."
