The Nevada Division of Water Resources is proposing temporary regulations pertaining to well driller licensing pursuant to Chapter 534 of Nevada Administrative Code (NAC). A workshop has been set for:
Date: Thursday, January 23, 2025
Time: 9:00am
Location: Division of Water Resources (Bonnie Conference Room), 901 S. Stewart Street, Carson City, Nevada
Virtual: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/join-a-meeting
The purpose of the workshop is to solicit oral and/or written comments from interested persons on the following topics that are intended to be addressed in the proposed regulations:
- Removing the requirement that qualifying well drilled experience must be acquired within the five years immediately preceding an application submission.
- Reducing the number of professional references required to be accepted from four to three but they must be accepted prior to being eligible to take the written examination.
- Removing the testing requirement for applicants to provide the public land survey description of a well’s location on a topographic map.
- Adding a new provision to establish a pathway for licensed well drillers from other states to apply for reciprocity from other states and become licensed in Nevada.
