All hardware and all fastening devices used in connection with a structure attached to or protecting a wellhead in Corpus Christi Bay and in Laguna Madre shall be of metal fully galvanized under the 'Hot Dip' process.

The decking of all walkways for use in connection with any well protective structure shall be of the concrete slab type or of a metal grating type. If the metal grating type is used it shall be treated to withstand atmospheric corrosion. The use of timber for walkways constructed or reconstructed after the adoption of the preceding sentence is prohibited, but existing timber walkways may be used until required to be reconstructed.

Each timber shall be bolted in at least two places and all metal used will be galvanized. Any timber in existing skirts when replaced shall be spaced and bolted in accordance with the requirements of this regulation." SECTION 2.
