(A) Roads and other excavations and the well site shall be planned, constructed and maintained to control dust, mud, erosion, noise, and debris, so as to result in the least possible disfigurement of the environment and to keep soil erosion and aesthetic disfigurement to a minimum. The location and construction of all roads, culverts, excavations and drainage structures shall be subject to the approval of the Petroleum Administrator and such special drainage, planting, spraying or control measures shall be installed as may be necessary to prevent excessive soil erosion or other damage. Any grading associated with petroleum operations may require a grading permit as specified in the San Benito County Code. Soil compaction shall be sufficient to handle any and all equipment expected on-site, as well as expected future uses of the land. All fill within a drill site comply with all local, state, or federal laws and regulations.
(B) Soil erosion control plans, including provisions for stabilizing filled and excavated areas by planting and other means, installation of drainage ditches and culverts, and construction of dikes, levees and debris dams, will be consistent with methods and techniques recognized by county, state and federal authorities. Each operator will notify the Petroleum Administrator as to the responsible individual appointed to represent the operator concerning these problems.
(C) Roads to/from the well site shall be constructed sufficient to accommodate emergency vehicles to/from the well site at all times.
