Part LXXXIX Water Well Contractors (Drillers)

Chapter 1 General Provisions

La. Admin. Code tit. 46, pt. LXXXIX, § 101 Authority

A. As announced in the October 1985 issue of the Louisiana Register, the rules, regulations and procedures, stated herein, were prepared by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, Office of Public Works, hereinafter referred to as the "department", in accordance with R.S. 38:3098-38:3098.8.

B. The rules, regulations and procedures stated herein will become effective on November 1, 1985 and supersede the rules, regulations and procedures in effect since April 21, 1983.

History

  • Authority Note: Promulgated in accordance with R.S. 38:3098 et seq.
  • Historical Note: Promulgated by the Department of Transportation and Development, Office of Public Works, Water Resources Section, LR 9:248 (April 1983), amended LR 11:966 (October 1985).
La. Admin. Code tit. 46, pt. LXXXIX, § 103 Purpose and Intent of Rules

A. The purpose of the rules, regulations and procedures, stated herein, is to provide for a fair and impartial means for the licensing of and the development of minimum qualifications and standards of conduct for those persons, firms or corporations engaged or desiring to engage in the business of drilling or reworking water wells, drilling monitoring wells, heat pump wells or holes, geotechnical boreholes and/or plugging and abandoning wells or holes, excluding oil and gas wells.

B. The intent of the regulations and procedures is to minimize the chances of contaminating aquifers that are drinking water sources or potential sources, by those who are not qualified to drill or construct wells or holes and to reduce health and safety hazards associated with drilling and construction of such wells or holes.

La. Admin. Code tit. 46, pt. LXXXIX, § 105 Definitions and Glossary of Terms

A. For glossary of terms, refer to LAC 56:I.113.A.

B. Definition of Contractor/Driller. Because the words contractor and driller are used interchangeably in R.S. 38:3098 and because it was the intent of the state legislature to license contractors and not those persons who operate the rig and/or perform labor or services on a rig or site at the direction and under the personal supervision of a licensed contractor [R.S. 38:3098(D)], the word contractor or driller in these regulations is used to refer to the person, firm, or corporation who engages in the business of drilling or reworking water wells, drilling monitoring wells, heat pump wells or holes, geotechnical boreholes and/or plugging and abandoning wells or holes, excluding oil and gas wells.

B. If the department finds that compliance with all the requirements of this Part would result in undue hardship, an exemption from any one or more of such requirements may be granted by the department to the extent necessary to ameliorate such undue hardship and to the extent such exemption can be granted without impairing the intent and purpose of this Part.

Every person, firm or corporation desiring to engage in the business of drilling or reworking water wells, drilling monitoring wells, heat pump wells or holes, geotechnical boreholes and/or plugging and abandoning wells or holes, excluding oil and gas wells, in the state of Louisiana, shall file an application (see §1111) with the department for a contractor's (driller's) license, using form provided by the department, setting out qualifications therefore and such other information as may be required by the department.

B. The application must be completed in its entirety, notarized and submitted to the department with the required license fee (see §503). Applications which are not properly completed, notarized, or accompanied with the required license fee or are illegible, will not be accepted by the department.

C. Applications received by the department will be reviewed by the advisory committee during their regular quarterly meetings (see §303). The committee will then recommend to the department, which applications should be accepted or rejected by the department.

D. If an application is approved, the department will notify the applicant of the date, time and place where he may appear for the licensing examination, as required by §505. If the application is rejected, the department will notify the applicant in writing and will return the license fee if requested by the applicant.

E. License Renewal. All licenses issued by the department shall expire on June 30 of each year and shall be renewable annually, without qualifying examination, upon submission of a completed license renewal application (see §1111), using form provided by the department, upon payment of the required license renewal fee (see §503), and upon certification by the department of qualified continuing education hours (see §509). Renewal applications, together with the required license renewal fees, must be received by the department no later than June 30 of each year. Such application shall have the effect of extending the validity of the current license until the renewal certificate or the new license is received, or the applicant is notified in writing by the department that the renewal of license has been refused.

F. Contractors (drillers) who fail or refuse to submit their license renewal applications, documentation of required continuing education hours, and the applicable annual renewal fees to the department by June 30 of each year or submit their applications with N.S.F. or account closed checks, will be considered delinquent and they will be dropped from the roster of licensed drillers. Thereafter, the license may be renewed only upon receipt of the completed renewal application, documentation of required continuing education hours, and payment of the applicable renewal fee, plus a penalty of $5 for each month that the contractor (driller) was delinquent.

G. Delinquency in excess of one year may, at the discretion of the advisory committee, be deemed as a waiver of the contractor's right for renewal, and if he should apply thereafter, the department may require that he be considered as a new applicant, including the requirement for examination. Any person whose license has been revoked may, upon application for a new license, be required, at the discretion of the advisory committee, to take the examination and in all other ways be considered as a new applicant.
