LAC 56:V.505. Temporary Cover

A. When the work of plugging or sealing and filling an abandoned water well or hole is temporarily suspended, such as overnight or while awaiting material, the well or hole shall be covered and the immediate area conspicuously marked to protect and warn the public. The cover shall be sufficiently strong and anchored to prevent easy or unintentional entry. It shall be sealed well enough to prevent the seepage of water and the entry of any foreign material into the well or hole.
