The Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists (TBPG) has issued a draft advisory opinion (AOR #3).  This draft advisory opinion was brought about due to a question of a client who would only pay for a technician to oversee and log the drilling of a soil boring or monitoring well.  In a nutshell, this opinion states that a PG is responsible and it is up to him to determine whether he or some other person, who is qualified in the mind of the overseeing PG, should be in the field performing the work.  The full text of the advisory opinion request can be found at:  http://www.tbpg.state.tx.us/Advisory-Opinions.html
 
Comments should be made to the TBPG by October 17, 2010.
