The secretary shall make, after notice and public hearing as provided in this Chapter,
any reasonable rules, regulations, and orders which are necessary to prohibit the operators

preclude agents of the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries from effectively enforcing any
of the provisions of Title 56 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950. The secretary shall
revoke any permit granted to an operator and deny any application for a permit to drill any
well by an operator found to be in violation of the rules provided for in this Section.
