Pursuant to the power delegated under the laws of the state of Louisiana, and particularly Title 30 of the Revised Statutes of 1950, as amended, and in conformity with the provisions of the Louisiana Administrative Procedure Act, Title 49, Sections 953(B)(1) and (2), 954(B)(2), as amended, the following Emergency Rule and reasons therefore are now adopted and promulgated by the Commissioner of Conservation as being necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare of the people of the state of Louisiana, as well as the environment generally, by establishing rules for the notification of appropriate state and local authorities for wells drilled within 1,000 feet of Interstate highways in the State of Louisiana.
Following the blowout of the A Wilberts Sons LLC 72 No. 1 well on November 15, 2007, Interstate Highway 10 was closed to traffic for an extended period resulting in inconvenience to the public, and reported detrimental impact to the public and commerce in the area. As a result, Governor Blanco, requested that the Commissioner of Conservation review all current regulations and make any changes necessary to reduce the likelihood of a similar incident.
In response to Governor Blanco’s request, a temporary moratorium on the drilling of wells within one quarter mile of any Interstate highway was enacted by the Commissioner of Conservation on December 1, 2007 to allow time for Louisiana Register Vol. 34, No. 10 October 20, 2008
