DISCUSSION:
The Board of Examiners believes that it can be advantageous to the water well industry, salutary to the
public health, and beneficial to the protection of the ground water resource, to accept appropriate
educational training and experience as a portion of the two (2) years of experience required by Section
37-91-105(2)(d), C.R.S. For consideration by the Board, the education and training must be obtained
through satisfactory completion of an academic program approved by the Board which is directly
applicable to water well construction and pump installation and consist of a substantial amount of
laboratory, field and on-the-job site experience gained under the supervision of a licensed contractor.
In conjunction with the described education and training, the Board believes it is appropriate to
consider certain academic courses directly related to the basic concepts of geology, hydrology, and
engineering that are fundamental in the proper construction of water wells. It is the Board's belief that
the described experience results in a far more qualified and knowledgeable applicant.
POLICY:
Having considered the benefits of certain trailing and academic instruction, the Board hereby adopts
the following policy:
The Board may consider and accept certain education and training as a portion of the experience required
by Section 37-91-105(2)(d), C.R.S. Such training or education must be satisfactorily completed with a
grade point average of 2.0 of a possible 4.0, or above, from a Board approved educational program,
curriculum, school or institution. The amount of credit for education may not exceed one (1) year of work
experience. Generally, the satisfactory completion of two (2) full semesters or an equivalent thereof, can
be accepted as six (6) months of work experience.
