reference to "Secretary of the Department of
Natural Resources" is deleted in light of Ch. 27,
Acts of 1980. These revisions, which conform to
current Board practice, are called to the
attention of the General Assembly. For a further

Art. 43, § 406A(g) — except as (g)(1) relates to
waterworks, wastewater works, and industrial
wastewater works being under the supervision of a

Subsection (b) of this section is new language
derived without substantive change from the
reference to certain prohibitions "after July 1,
1982" in Art. 43, § 406A(g)(2) and (3) and from
the reference to certain permitted activities "on
July 1, 1981" in the first clause of Art. 43, §
406A(h). Therefore, the reference to "until July
2, 1982" is new language added for clarity.
