the first clause of the third sentence of NR §
8-610(a) and is rephrased in the standard
language used in corresponding sections in other
titles of this article.

Subsection (b) of this section is derived in part
from the first sentence of NR § 8-603, and is
patterned after the first sentence of NR § 8-604
and the reference to the appropriation or use
permit in NR § 8-802(a).

In the introductory language of subsection (b) of
this section, the term "make" is substituted for
the present enumeration of ways to make a well.

In subsection (b) of this section, the permit
designations "permit to drill a well" and "water
appropriation or use permit" are added to conform
to current terminology.

In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the
Department of Natural Resources is substituted
for "Department of Health and Mental Hygiene" to
correct an inadvertent substitution of the wrong
department in Ch. 27, Acts of 1980.
