MARYLAND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICE Thomas D. McKewen, Director Tawes State Office Building, Annapolis 21401 Telephone: 267-5351 The Maryland Environmental Service (MES) was created by Chap- ter 240, Acts of 1970 as a public corporation to assist local govern- ments and industry in elimination of pollution resulting from the disposal of liquid and solid wastes. On July 1, 1972, the Service was authorized to provide water supply and related facilities. As a Corporation, the Service is governed by a three member Board of Directors consisting of the Director, the Secretary and the Treas- urer who are appointed by the Secretary of Natural Resources with the approval of the Governor. The Service is to assist with the pres- ervation, improvement and management of the quality of land, air and water resources. To this end, it encourages reduction in the amount of waste generated and discharged to the environment and serves the State's political subdivisions and economic interests. The Maryland Environmental Service represents a new approach to the problem of environmental pollution. It is a product of the realization that all levels of government share the responsibility for the existence of the problem and must, therefore, assist each other in finding its solution. As a public corporate utility enterprise, the Service has all the powers necessary to conduct business, to plan, design, finance, construct, operate and maintain liquid and solid waste management systems and water supply facilities (Natural Resources Article, sees. 3-101 to 3-132).
