Any person who completes any well as a producer shall have the obligation to enclose such well, together with its surface facilities and storage tanks, by a substantial smooth net wire 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 noncongested areas the Oil and Gas Well Inspector, in his or her discretion, may waive the requirement of any fence or may designate the type of fence to be erected.
