Well Driller Certification Program
1. To submit or view electronic well data a MA registered driller must have completed the Updated Well Reporting Requirements training program offered by DEP and the
Massachusetts Office of the State Geologist.
2. Signed DEP's Acknowledgement and Agreement to E-Filing Policy and Disclaimer to receive his/her
personal identification number (PIN) to enter into system.
3. Have access to a computer, printer, modem, Internet service, web browser, and an active email account.
It is recommended that you have the latest version of
Adobe Reader (which is free and available
on the internet)
to view the report.
Before starting, please note:
- When creating a new well report on this system, a driller will see multiple screens, each of
which has required fields for the well type and work performed.
These fields must be correctly filled out before the driller can proceed to the next page.
- You must be prepared to complete the report entirely within one session. Unfortunately at this time
the system cannot store incomplete reports and make them available to you for editing later. The session
will time out after 30 minutes if left unattended.
- When data entry is complete and the driller submits the report to DEP, he/she will receive a confirmation number,
verifying that DEP has received the report and which must be used to retrieve the report electronically in the
future. Please make a note of this number.
- Once data entry is complete and your report is displayed, you must print a copy for the Board of Health in the
municipality in which you worked, and deliver it to them as required by CMR 313 3.03(3).
- DEP will periodically examine the submitted records. If no errors are found, the records will be flagged as complete, complete records will be searchable. Any errors will be reported to the driller via email or phone. In order to edit the report,
the well driller must contact the Well Driller Certification Program at Stephen.Hallem@state.ma.us
