WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                   Ch. 612

unnecessary in light of the definition of "person" in
§ 9-201 of this subtitle.

The General Assembly may wish to consider adding to
subsections (d) and (g) of this section a prohibition
that would cover "operating" a water supply system,
sewerage system, or refuse disposal system without a
permit. The current law is silent in this regard, but
the Department believes that a person should be
compelled to operate the system in a prescribed
manner, since a person is required to have a permit to
materially alter or materially extend a system.
