# §3262.12. Must I post a sign at every well?


Yes. Before you begin drilling a well, you must post a sign in a conspicuous place and keep it there throughout operations until the well site is reclaimed. Put the following information on the sign:

- (a) The lessee or operator's name;
- (b) Lease serial number;
- (c) Well number; and
- (d) **Well location described by township, range, section, quarter-quarter section or lot.**
