LAC 46:LXXXIX.105. Definitions and Glossary of Terms

A. For glossary of terms, refer to LAC 56:I.113.A. B. Definition of Contractor/Driller. Because the words contractor and driller are used interchangeably in R.S. 38:3098 and because it was the intent of the state legislature to license contractors and not those persons who operate the rig and/or perform labor or services on a rig or site at the direction and under the personal supervision of a licensed contractor [R.S. 38:3098(D)], the word contractor or driller in these regulations is used to refer to the person, firm, or corporation who engages in the business of drilling or reworking water wells, drilling monitoring wells, heat pump wells or holes, geotechnical boreholes and/or plugging and abandoning wells or holes, excluding oil and gas wells.
