(A) Unless otherwise provided by this title, no person shall allow the discharge of any liquid containing crude petroleum or its products into, over or upon any street, public highway or right-of-way, drainage canal or ditch, storm or sanitary drain or flood control channel.
(B) No person shall allow any oil, waste oil, refuse or waste material to be on the surface of the ground or under, around, over, along or near any oil well, sump, boiler, oil storage tank or building, unless such material is contained within an oil sump, tank, catchment basin or skimming pond.
(C) All property within 25 feet of any oil well, flammable liquid tank or appurtenance to any oil well shall be at all times kept free and clear of dry weeds, grass, rubbish or other combustible debris. If the distance is deemed by the Secretary to be not sufficient to provide reasonable fire safety, the Secretary may require a greater distance which shall not exceed the height of the derrick or the greatest dimension of the tank.
