§ 18-3. Location and fencing of tank batteries.

(a)

If production is obtained, and the oil storage tank battery is located within the city limits, the same shall be erected within the confines of an earthen or concrete wall designed in such a manner that the area inside the retention wall would retain the total volume of the tanks located therein and the same shall be completely enclosed by a suitable all metal wire fence of a sufficiently strong and close mesh construction that it will not be penetrable by domestic animals or small children.

(b)

Any gate or gates installed for the use of ingress or egress shall be kept locked when not in use. In no event shall such battery be located nearer than a one hundred fifty-foot radius from any residence, commercial structure or public building, unless application contains a signed notarized release from the property owners within such one hundred fifty-foot radius. All lines on lease shall be buried a minimum of one (1) foot.
