(B) GRANT OF RIGHT OF ENTRY.

ISSUANCE OF A DISCHARGE PERMIT IS CONTINGENT ON THE
GRANT BY THE PERMIT HOLDER TO THE DEPARTMENT OF A RIGHT OF

CONDITION OF THE PERMIT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a)(1) of this section is

Subsection (a)(2) of this section formerly

Subsection (b) of this section formerly appeared
as the first sentence of NR § 8-1413(g).

The only changes are in style.
