Ch. 612

LAWS OF MARYLAND

IF PLANS DO NOT EXIST OR ARE OF INSUFFICIENT SCOPE OR
DETAIL, THE AUTHORITY OR PERSON WHO IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THE
PLANS SHALL:

(1)  PREPARE AND SUBMIT TO THE SECRETARY NEW OR
SUPPLEMENTED PLANS; AND

(2)  MAKE ANY INVESTIGATION THAT IS NECESSARY TO
ENSURE THAT THE NEW OR SUPPLEMENTED PLANS ARE CORRECT.

(D) (E) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

(1)  THE SECRETARY MAY REQUEST ANY OTHER INFORMATION
ABOUT THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM, SEWERAGE SYSTEM, OR REFUSE
DISPOSAL SYSTEM, INCLUDING INFORMATION OR RECORDS ON MAINTENANCE
AND OPERATION, THAT THE SECRETARY CONSIDERS APPROPRIATE.

(2)  ANY AUTHORITY OR PERSON TO WHOM A REQUEST IS MADE
UNDER PARAGRAPH (1) OF THIS SUBSECTION SHALL SUBMIT THE
INFORMATION OR RECORDS TO THE SECRETARY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new
language added to avoid repetition of the phrase
"water, sewerage, or sanitary district authority" and
to clarify that all of these entities are authorities.

Subsections (b) through (e) of this section are new
language derived without substantive change from
former HE § 9-206.

Throughout this section, the references to "person"
are substituted for the former words "county",
"municipality", "corporation", "company",
"institution", and "individual" in light of the
definitions of "person" in §§ 1-101 of this article
and 9-201 of this subtitle.

Throughout -this section, the defined term "refuse
disposal system" is substituted for the former terms
"refuse disposal plant" and "refuse disposal plants",
for consistency.

In the review and revision of this section, it was
agreed that, based on a review of the legislative
history, subsections (c) and (d) of this section were
intended to apply to water supply systems, sewerage
systems, and refuse disposal systems for public use
that were in existence before the enactment of § 9-204
of this subtitle. Thus, subsections (c) and (d) of
this section are revised according to the apparent
intent of the law, and are not meant to duplicate the
provisions of § 9-204(e) and (h) of this subtitle.
