PURPOSE: This rule outlines the division’s requirements for filing an application for a permit.

1. (1) All applicants shall submit an application. The division shall not act upon the application until they have received all required information, the appropriate fee, a passing grade on the appropriate examinations, and, if applicable, proof of financial responsibility. If applicant holds a valid permit from another state with requirements similar to the state of Missouri’s, the applicant must also submit proof of the valid permit. Proof shall be at the discretion of the division. An application will not be acted upon, or it will be denied, if the applicant has violated any rules and has not remediated these violations. The division may issue a permit on a probationary status.
2. (2) The application shall be accompanied by the appropriate fee(s). The fee shall be made payable to the Groundwater Protection Fund. There will be no refund of monies paid for the permits after the fee has been transferred to the Groundwater Protection Fund in Jefferson City unless the request is made in writing. In the case of any change of status of any permittee, that permittee shall notify the division and submit a new application and appropriate fee required pursuant to these rules. In the case of either change in ownership of a rig or the purchase of a new rig, a new application form and the appropriate fee must be sent to the division, and a new card will be issued.
