C. The minimum depth of water below the exit lip of the slide shall be three feet (3’) and increase to
four feet six inches (4’-6”) at Pt. A, which is a distance of four feet six inches (4’-6”) from the exit
lip of the slide as shown in
FIG. 13

D. A minimum depth of four feet six inches (4’-6”) shall be maintained at a distance of nine feet (9’)
along the extended centerline of the slide from Pt. A. as shown in
FIG. 13
.
2. A minimum clearance area in front of the slide shall be maintained at all times as follows:
A. The minimum clearance distance on either side of the extended centerline of the slide runway
shall not be less than three feet six inches (3’-6”) at a point no less than
