REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
43, § 698A(c), (d), and the first sentence of
(e).

In subsection (b) of this section, the former
reference to "the City of Baltimore" is deleted
as unnecessary in light of the definition of
"county" in § 1-101 of this article.

In subsection (c)(2) of this section,
"operations" is substituted for "facility or
source" to conform to the terminology used in §
2-502(a)(2) of this subtitle.

In subsection (d)(1) and in the introductory
language in subsection (e) of this section, "Air
Management Administration" is substituted for
"Bureau of Air Quality Control" to conform to the
current name of that unit of the Department.
