A remote operator is allowed to operate at which type of facility?

• A. Only Grade 1 facilities
• B. Only Grade 2 facilities
• C. Any Grade 1 or Grade 2 facility
• D. Any public water system

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that a remote operator’s permission to work depends on the grade designation of the facility. A remote operator holding a Grade 1 or Grade 2 certification is authorized to operate facilities that are designated as requiring Grade 1 or Grade 2 licensing. That means they can operate at any facility that falls into either of those two grades, since both are within the operator’s authorized scope.

This isn’t the same as being allowed to operate every public water system, because some systems may require higher grades (like Grade 3) or be governed by different rules. It also isn’t limited to only Grade 1 or only Grade 2 facilities; the remote operator can work at facilities designated for either grade, hence the broader “any Grade 1 or Grade 2 facility” answer.
