What type of activities is a restricted licensee typically limited to?

A restricted licensee is typically limited to specialized well construction and pump installation because this designation ensures that individuals are only performing tasks for which they have received specific training and have the necessary expertise. This license type is crucial in ensuring public safety and maintaining the standards within the drilling industry.

Specialized well construction involves the understanding of geology, hydrology, and the specific methods necessary for reliable and safe well installation. Pump installation further requires knowledge about various pumping systems and careful procedures to avoid contamination or other issues during installation.

While general construction and maintenance, well monitoring, environmental studies, or non-water-related technical services are significant aspects of the industry, they often require broader skills or different licensing categories. Therefore, a restricted license focuses on allowing the licensee to engage in these precise and limited activities that directly relate to well construction and the installation of pumps, ensuring they operate within their area of expertise.
