    (a) The applicant maintains no office for the practice of geology or a certified specialty geology, or both geology and a certified specialty geology, other than for the authorized project, in this state.

    (b) The applicant is qualified to practice geology or a certified specialty geology, or both geology and a certified specialty geology for others, and is not legally prohibited from so doing, in the state or country where he or she maintains an office for that practice.

    (c) The applicant demonstrates by means of an individual appearance before the board, or before a committee appointed by the board for that purpose, satisfactory evidence of adequate knowledge in that phase of geology for which the applicant proposes to practice under the temporary authorization.

    If the applicant can satisfy the board that the completion of the specific project for which the authorization is granted will require more than 60 consecutive calendar days, the board may extend the authorization to a period not to exceed a total of 120 days.

    Upon completion of these requirements as necessary, the executive officer on direction of the board shall issue a temporary authorization to the applicant.
