(A) Sanitation and cleanliness. Premises shall be kept in a clean and sanitary condition, free from rubbish of every character, to the satisfaction of the Health Officer at all times while drilling operations or reworking operations are being conducted, and as long thereafter as oil and/or gas is being produced therefrom. It shall be unlawful for any permittee, his or her agents, or employees, to permit within the city limits any mud, water, waste oil, slush or other waste matter from any slush pit, storage tank or oil and/or gas well located within the city, or from any premises within the city developed or being developed for oil and/or gas purposes, in or on any alleys, streets, lots, land or leases within the city.
(B) Fencing. Any person who completes any well as a producer shall have the obligation to enclose the well, together with its surface facilities, with a substantial concrete-block fence sufficiently high and properly built so as to ordinarily keep persons and animals out of the enclosure, with all gates thereto to be kept locked when the permittee or his or her employees are not within the enclosure. It is provided, however, that in non-congested areas, the Oil and Gas Inspector, at his or her discretion, may waive the requirements of any fence or may designate the type of fence to be erected.
