If you fail to pay your registration fee your registration will be suspended and eventually be revoked after three years. The exam and questions are reviewed regularly by the Department and a panel of well-respected California Registered Environmental Health Specialist subject matter experts. We have included two sample questions that a prospective candidate may expect on the registration exam. Please take a few moments and select the best answers. The answers appear below.
Hydraulic conductivity increases for all soils as they dry.
Soils with small, discontinuous water-filled pores have high hydraulic conductivity. Unsaturated soils with large air-filled pores have a high hydraulic conductivity. As soils dry, the hydraulic conductivity of clay soils can become greater than that of sandy soils. If you do not renew your registration it will be suspended and eventually revoked after three years. On or before the first day of January of every second year you are required to renew your registration.
