Massachusetts maintains a licensing program for environmental professionals who oversee assessments and cleanups in the waste site cleanup program, which addresses soil and ground-water contamination at non-Superfund sites in the Commonwealth. Some of these environmental professionals happen to be geologists, but many others are environmental, chemical, or civil engineers; chemists; environmental scientists; risk assessors, and associated disciplines.

Update:

Bills have been introduced in the Legislature to require a person engaged in the public practice of geology to be licensed as a geologist. The bills would also establish a Board of Professional Geologists, set fees for licensure, and require the State Geologist to be licensed. No action has been taken on the bills.
