PART-II. WATER SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD.
9-305. BOARD ESTABLISHED.

THERE IS A WATER SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the reference in
the first sentence of former Article 43, § 718
(a) to maintaining a Science Advisory Board.

It is set forth as a separate section for
emphasis.

The word "Water" is added to the name of the
Board for clarity and to conform to actual
practice.

Former Article 43, § 718(h), which in effect
provided that the Board was created as part of
the comprehensive water pollution control
program, is deleted as unnecessary.
