Compare to:
Sec. 20-46. Transportation of oil and gas restricted.
   When production has been established in any new well, the construction of a pipeline shall be started as soon as practical and economically feasible and thereon diligently prosecuted until such pipeline is completed in order to eliminate the trucking of oil. All oil and gas shall be shipped and transported through pipelines after those pipelines have been completed, except in cases in which such a method of transportation is found by the chief building inspector to be unfeasible. In such cases the shipping and transportation of oil by truck may be permitted at the discretion of the chief building inspector after consideration of all the circumstances including, but not limited to, the proximity of the well to existing and available pipelines, the availability of acceptable access routes to the drill site, and the frequency and size of transportation vehicles required to serve the well. In the instance of an oil spill, permittee may bring in a vacuum truck to clean said spill without the necessity of obtaining permission from the chief building inspector.
