      s 129. Water, Oil, and Gas Wells.

      (a) Water wells and any appurtenant structures must be located a minimum 
      distance of ten (10) feet from a levee toe.

      (b) Oil wells, gas wells, and any appurtenant structures must be located a 
      minimum distance of thirty-five (35) feet from a levee toe.

      (c) Access roads, foundation pads, and stockpiled excavated material 
      within a floodway are normally limited to an elevation of three (3) feet 
      above the natural ground. However, if it is determined by the board that 
      such facilities constructed to the normal elevation would have an adverse 
      effect on the flood-carrying capacity of the floodway, the allowable 
      elevation shall be lower.

      (d) Structures and fencing at well sites within the floodway are not 
      permitted without approved hydraulic studies demonstrating that the 
      proposed structure or fence would not impair the floodway.

      (e) Permits for water wells require that a survey monument and a permanent 
      bench mark must be installed at the waterside levee toe, as near to the 
      well site as practical, to serve as a vertical control to monitor 
      subsidence.
