REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
43, § 200(g) through (1).

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the
reference in former Article 43, § 200 (g) to
building a cannery or frozen food plant over
flowing water is deleted as obsolete. Under the
former law, consent of the Secretary was required
before a cannery or frozen food plant could
discharge waste liquids into flowing water.
