The meteorologist are promising a good monsoon season. Hopefully we will get some good rains. We have been keeping an eye on the Texas-New Mexico lawsuit. We will keep you informed as this continues to unfold. Please remember the new rules and regulations that have been in place with the state engineer office and tag your new wells with the tag they have provided for you. not passed your test yet, you may only come to the top of the well with your pump cable and an licensed electrician must wire anything from that point on. We continue to hold test prep classes to help you pass this test. Take advantage of this for yourself and your employees. We are looking holding another class this winter. The Fall meeting will be in Las Cruces this year. Come down get your CEU s, put together a team for the golf tournament and join us for our annual dinner and auction. We look forward to seeing you in September. Wishing you all a productive and prosperous summer! The recent class for the ES-10 electrical license for Pump installers was a success.

8 MEANDERINGS FROM JERRI Let s just start by stating the obvious, this year is going to be Hot and Dry! This week parts of our state have infamously reached exceptional drought status and a huge part of northern NM is in the less severe to extreme drought status. After a very dry winter, the Governor reconvened the state s Drought Task Force. As the chair, the State Engineer meets monthly with State and Federal agency experts addressing the drought s affect on issues related to water, economy, fire, recreation, health, agriculture, environment, and drought education assisting the state with surviving the drought. With surface reservoir levels below average and absent any spring precipitation, watershed managers are stressing in anticipation of a high fire season. Irrigation is going to be tough this year, so you can expect this means more business for well drillers. I will share some valuable resources that may help out. The OSE has updated the drought webpage as a one-stop resource for loads of information including NM reservoir conditions, streamflow and snowpack data, fire information, and other drought resources. nm.us/drought/index.php Continually, the OSE Water Use and Conservation Bureau provides NM specific Plant Lists, a Fix-a-Leak Program, WaterWise Building information and brings resources to individuals and communities on how to reduce their water use during these difficult times. I often refer well owners to the National Ground Water Association page where they provide free classes on well operation, well maintenance, water quality and quantity. It also provides drought advice to private well owners on deepening or replacing their well if their well is affected. groundwater/drought/ The NM Environment Department also has information on water hauling when things get desperate. water/private-wells/ If you placed a call to Santa Fe recently for the Well Driller Program, you have likely talked with Frank Scott. Frank is currently handling everything regarding this program including licensing and complaints while I work on things in other areas. Frank is a geologist and his experience in the field allows the agency to make thorough well inspections when needed. We have been addressing construction violations sometimes on a daily basis. The rule revision did not add many new construction requirements. So, it is disheartening when violations we are witnessing violate rules that have been in place for 13 years. Most violations require a response within 30 days to avoid escalation. One of our agency responsibilities is to ensure that wells are constructed in a manner to protect the resource. In 2016, a former well driller received several written reprimands from the OSE for construction violations requiring remedy. That person decided that instead of fixing the issues, they would allow their license to expire and never responded to those reprimands. In March 2018, the OSE received a check for $5,000 from CNA Surety Company paying out the Surety Bond held by the former driller as a penal sum for violating state law and New Mexico construction regulations. If you are curious, the money is directly deposited into the State of New Mexico General Fund; the OSE does not benefit monetarily from this deposit. We will continue to encourage well drillers to practice safe drilling, comply with all regulations and adhere to industry standards. Please call if you have any concerns or questions regarding our rules and regulations NMAC. Best regards, Jerri Pohl--New Mexico Office of the State Engineer Statewide Projects (505) Page
