Ch. 612

LAWS OF MARYLAND

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former HE §
9-212(a)(l), (2), and (3) and (d), as those
subsections related to landfill systems.

In subsection (b)(1) of this section, "municipal

corporation" is   substituted for the former word "city"

to conform to similar substitutions throughout this
subtitle.

In subsection (b)(2) and (3) of this section, the
references to "registered mail" is deleted as
unnecessary in light of the references to "certified
mail". See Art. 1, § 20 of the Code.

In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the reference to
any county and municipal corporation "that the
Department determines may be affected by the landfill
system" is substituted for the former, ambiguous
references to "appropriate county" and "appropriate
municipal corporation", for clarity to conform to
Departmental practice. This change is brought to the
attention of the General Assembly.

The references to sludge composting facilities in
former HE § 9-212(a)(l), (2), and (3) and (d) are
deleted as unnecessary in light of the more
comprehensive provisions of § 9-234 of this subtitle.

9-210. SAME — COMPLIANCE WITH COUNTY REQUIREMENTS; APPROVAL OF
GOVERNING BODY.

THE DEPARTMENT SECRETARY MAY NOT ISSUE A PERMIT TO INSTALL,
MATERIALLY ALTER, OR MATERIALLY EXTEND A LANDFILL UNTIL:

(1)  THE LANDFILL MEETS ALL ZONING AND LAND USE

REQUIREMENTS OF THE COUNTY WHERE THE LANDFILL IS OR IS TO BE

LOCATED; AND

(2)  THE DEPARTMENT HAS A WRITTEN STATEMENT THAT THE
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OR THE COUNTY COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY
WHERE THE LANDFILL IS TO BE LOCATED DOES NOT OPPOSE THE ISSUANCE
OF THE PERMIT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former HE §
9-212(a)(4), as that paragraph applied to landfills.

In the introductory language of this section, the
reference to "Secretary" is substituted for the former
reference to "Department" to conform to the wording of
§ 9-204 of this subtitle.
