A. All plans for shielding shall be approved by the agency prior to commencing construction of shielding.

B. When fences are used for shielding the boards may be spaced and/or slanted to reduce wind load. The space between boards when viewed from a broad-side view shall not be more than one and one-half inches and interval between spaces shall not be less than seven and one-half inches. Rough dimensional lumber or better is acceptable. Chain link fences with standard fiberglass or other inserts are acceptable, provided the gap between adjacent slats does not exceed one and one half inches.

E. No more than one of the approved shielding materials shall be used on any one side of a shielding fence.
