REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Article 66C, section 411C of the Code. The
reference to "or parts", "or newspaper",
and "or counties" is proposed for deletion
in light of Article 1, section 8 of the
code, which provides that the singular is
deemed to include the plural unless the
context is unreasonable. The reference to
the "Patuxent River" watershed in this and
subsequent sections is proposed for
deletion in light of section 8-1301(c).

The section is divided into subsections for
the purpose of organization.

The only other changes made are in style.
