STATEMENT OF BASIS AND PURPOSE
4 - Definitions

This Rule defines terms used in the BOE Administration Rules. Certain terms defined in statute, section 37-91-102, C.R.S. (2017), have identical meanings in Rule 4.2, and are restated verbatim. Many of the added definitions are simply adding the statutory definition. This Rule also defines additional terms to ensure that their meanings and usage are clearly understood.

The definition of "Authorized Individual" was removed because the term was not used in the Rules.

A definition for "Board Staff" was added to clarify the term, especially in regard to the process for petitions for declaratory orders added under Rule 10.

A definition for "Continuing Education (CE) Committee" was added to specify the composition of the committee who, in conjunction with the Board, would evaluate continuing education programs or courses for accreditation under Rule 8. Section 37-91-108(6), C.R.S. (2017), provides that "The board shall...develop a continuing education program in conjunction with the Colorado Water Well Contractors Association or any analogous or successor organization."

Rule 4.2 . 18.1 was added to clarify that the definition of "Pumping Equipment" also includes certain cisterns or other water storage tanks. Section 37-91-109(2), C.R.S. (2017), provides that, "Only a licensed pump installation contractor may install a cistern or other water storage tank between the wellhead and the pressure tank or downstream of the wellhead if no pressure tank is utilized."

The definition of "Two Years' Experience" was removed because the requirement of two years of experience in order to be licensed is adequately described under Rule 6.4.1.
