Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Entry to the water shall be permitted
			 only at the zero depth entry of the pool.
(B) The wave pool shall be fenced from the
			 wave-generating machinery along the sides of the pool to the point of zero
			 static water depth. Fencing shall only be open at points of exit from the pool.
			 Fencing may be no closer than eighteen inches from the pool, with the exception
			 of high-wave pools, and the public will not be permitted between the fencing
			 and the edge of the pool. The pool is to be fenced on all sides except at the
			 point of zero static water depth or where the position of wave-generating
			 equipment makes it unnecessary to fence to prevent public access to the water.
			 Patrons shall be protected from the elevated leading edge hazards that may
			 exist along the side walls and back walls of the wave pool through the use of
			 fencing/acceptable barriers. Fencing/acceptable barriers shall be installed to
			 prohibit patron access to the leading edges on the elevated sides and rear of
			 the wave pool. Fencing and/or acceptable barriers shall comply with ASTM volume
			 15.07, 2007 edition, "Design and Manufacture of a Patron Directed Artificial
			 Climbing Walls, Dry Slides, Coin Operated and Purposeful Water Immersion
			 Amusement Rides and Devices and Air-Supported Structures." The fence will come
			 to the water's edge at zero static water depth. Employee access gates in
			 perimeter fences must be secured with a latch and a sign must be posted stating
			 "authorized personnel only".
(C)
			 Life vests will be available to the public without additional charge. A
			 refundable deposit may be collected. Signs encouraging the use of the vests
			 will be placed conspicuously near the entrance to the pool.
(D) All wave pools must have minimum rest
			 periods within each hour of operation according to the following formula:
(1) High-wave pools cannot be operated more
			 than sixty minutes without a minimum five-minute rest period. A "rest period"
			 is defined as nonoperation of wave generating equipment.
(2) Action pools cannot be operated more than
			 fifteen minutes without a minimum five-minute rest period. A "rest period" is
			 defined as nonoperation of wave generating equipment.

			 rest.
(8) The licensee shall ensure
			 that the water in an aquatic device meets at least one of the two
			 bacteriological standards (fecal coliform or E. Coli), but the licensee is not
			 required to take water samples for bacteriological analysis except when the
			 licensor has reason to believe that the water in an aquatic device does not
