Abstract
Abstract: Geoscientific Enforcement Case Studies:
Meeting the Professional Geoscientific (PG)
Standard-of-care in 2011
Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists
Texas Board of Professional Geoscientists (TBPG) is mandated
by 
law
to set and apply standards of professional performance
of environmental geologists, engineering geologists, and water
supply hydrogeologists through the mechanism of Professional
Geoscientific (PG) licensure for the purpose of public protection
– the highest priority of TBPG. To meet this goal, TBPG revised
Texas’ previously existing Code of Professional Standards on
September 24, 2010. Evaluations of resolved actionable PG
enforcement case studies help delineate the boundary between
specific failures to meet the expected special-diligence PG
standard-of-care from day-to-day correctable PG service errors.
Uniform compliance with the revised Code of Professional
Standards is integral to Texas public safety and environmental
protection; TBPG seeks the active participation of all Texas
licensed Professional Geoscientists in 2011.
