sewage collection and disposal system, including oxidation ponds or
sewage lagoons, for the construction, alteration or extension of which
a permit is required under this section, and is not exempt from the
requirements for a permit pursuant to subsection (e) of this section,
shall be installed, maintained and operated under such rules and
regulations as the Commission may require or devise. The Commis-
sion is authorized and directed to make inspections of the operations
of all such projects and to require the owners or operators thereof to
maintain and operate them in compliance with the Commission's re-
quirements and with due regard to public health, safety and comfort.

inspection. Whenever an owner or operator of such system fails or
refuses to make any correction or fails or refuses to maintain and
operate the system in compliance with the Commission's require-

system, and collect the costs therefor from the owners or operators;
provided, however, that where a municipality owns or operates such a
system and performs, or has performed for it, bacteriological and
chemical analyses by qualified personnel, as approved by the Maryland
State Department of Health and the Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission, and files monthly reports of such analyses with the said
Commission showing that satisfactory operating conditions currently
exist in that system, the Commission shall not be required to dupli-
cate those analyses and shall adjust its inspection fees accordingly.
After construction of a water or sewage treatment facility pursuant
to a Commission permit, if the operation thereof is subject to inspec-

functions, and its operation and inspection fee shall be eliminated
or reduced commensurate with the eliminated inspection activities.
All other aspects of the Commission permit for the facility shall
continue.
