(2) An operator certified for the activity being conducted shall be present

										being conducted. The operator must have his certification in his possession anytime he is in charge of the
										drilling operations or pump installation activities.

										of two inches (2") inches in height, with the firm name and license number in a location visible to the
										public.
(4) Complete each well or install each pump as the case
										may be to meet or exceed the minimum standards adopted by the Board set forth in this Chapter, unless a
										variance has been requested and approved pursuant to
										785:35-7-3
										before construction begins.
(5) Submit a multi-purpose completion
										report acceptable to the Board for each new well constructed, each well plugged and each well reconditioned

										required in the form. For test holes and geotechnical borings, a multi-purpose completion report for each
										test hole and boring, or one multiple test hole/boring report on a form provided by the Board listing the
										required information for each such test hole or boring on a contiguous tract of land, must be submitted to
										the Board within sixty (60) days after completion and plugging of the test holes or borings. Licensees are
										responsible for the accuracy of information in all reports submitted by certified operators.
