The Department of Geology, Mines, and Water Resources was estab-
lished by Chapter 508, Acts of 1941 to supersede the State Geological
and Economic Survey Advisory Commission, the Water Front Com-
mission, and the Water Resources Commission. The Department is
directed by a five-man Commission appointed by the Governor for five-
year terms, one term expiring each year. The Commission selects its
own chairman and appoints the Director of the Department. The
Director supervises activities that deal with geology and water; the
Bureau of Mines supervises the mining industry.
The Department supervises topographic, geologic, hydrographic, and
magnetic surveys. It prepares topographic, geologic, and such other
maps as may be necessary to meet a specific need. It makes reports on
the extent and character of the State's mineral and water resources.
In cooperation with the United States Government, it makes surveys
of the water resources of the State. It investigates and recommends
plans and policies for the protection of the State's waterfront and
waterways against erosion. In addition, the Department controls and
conserves, insofar as is practicable, the surface and underground
waters of Maryland; and to that end has jurisdiction over the con-
struction and repairs of reservoirs, dams, and other waterway obstruc-
tions. It licenses all water well drillers in the State and issues a permit
for each well to be drilled. The Commission also makes and enforces
