14.16.040 Location of wells.
   (A)   No oil well shall be drilled or re-drilled within 150 feet of an existing or planned right-of-way, unless the Secretary determines, due to the degree or slope or other topographical features, that a lesser distance than one-half of the existing right-of-way in addition to the 150 feet would be safe for the traveling public and in conformity with the purpose and intent of this title. If the Secretary so finds, the distance established by the Secretary shall control.
   (B)   No oil well shall be drilled within 150 feet of the nearest rail of a railway which carries passengers for hire.
   (C)   Except as elsewhere provided in this title, no oil well shall be drilled within 150 feet of any building used for human occupancy, nor shall such a building be erected within 150 feet of any producing oil well.
   (D)   No oil well shall be drilled within 150 feet from the outer boundary line of the district.
   (E)   No oil well shall be drilled within 300 feet of any building used as a place of public assemblage, public institution or school, nor shall any such buildings be erected within 300 feet of any producing oil well.
   (F)   No controlled drill site location shall be closer than 1,300 feet from any other drill site. The Agency may suspend, in whole or in part, any provisions of this chapter and/or impose less restrictive requirements if the provisions of this chapter are rendered unnecessary or unreasonable due to existing special features, such as topography, use and occupancy of and the proximity of buildings on adjoining property, the height, character and structure of such buildings and the type and character of oil field development. The Agency may also impose, as a result of such special features, such additional safety requirements as it deems necessary.
