Section R12-15-806. License Fee; Issuance and Term of Licenses; Renewal; Display of License

A.      The fee for a well driller’s license shall be $50.00.

B.       Upon submittal of the license fee and satisfactory completion of an examination, the Director shall issue the applicant a well drilling license. The license shall be numbered and shall state the specialized classifications of drilling activities for which the applicant is qualified and licensed. The applicant shall be licensed in only those classifications for which the qualifying party has passed the specialized sections of the examination. If the qualifying party subsequently passes other specialized sec- tions, the applicant’s license shall be amended. The applicant shall pay a fee of $50.00 for the amendment of a well driller’s license.

C.      A well drilling contractor shall notify the Director in writing within 30 days of the date on which the well drilling contractor no longer has a qualifying party for one or more of its special- ized drilling classifications. Upon such notification, the Direc- tor may revoke or suspend part or all of the well drilling license of the well drilling contractor and require a new quali- fying party to take and pass the examination.

D.      A well drilling license shall expire each year on June 30th, unless renewed pursuant to subsection (E).

E.       A person may renew a well drilling license by submitting an application for renewal on forms prescribed and furnished by the Director and a fee of $50.00. If the application and renewal fee are postmarked on or before June 30, the well drilling con- tractor may operate as a licensee until actual issuance of the renewal license. A license which has expired may be reacti-

vated and renewed within one year of its expiration by filing the required application and a reactivation fee of $50.00. If a license has been expired for one or more years for failure to renew, the well drilling contractor shall apply for a new license and repeat the examination.

F.       A well drilling contractor shall prominently display the well drilling license number on all well drilling rigs owned or oper- ated by the contractor in this state. Good quality paint or com- mercial decal numbers shall be used in placing each identification number on the drilling rig. The license number shall not be inscribed in crayon, chalk, pencil, or other tempo- rary markings.
