(a) Within 90 days after production has been established on an urbanized drill site containing a well which, when in operation, has external moving parts, the permittee shall have completed either adequate landscaping or screening composed of shrubbery to a minimum of six feet in height, but in any event, tall and thick enough to shield the drilling site from public view, or physical fencing and screening which effectively shields the drill site from public view. Such required landscaping or screening is subject to the approval of the chief building inspector concerning its adequacy in meeting the requirements of this section. Said landscaping or screening must be maintained so as to shield the drill site from public view so long as production continues on the drill site. This applies also to each existing producing urbanized drill site in the city containing a well which when in operation has externally moving parts.
(b) Wells which, when in operation, have no externally moving parts are excepted from the fencing requirements of this section; however, all storage tanks and surface facilities must be fenced as required herein.
