Ch. 612

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a) through (d)(2) of this
section are new language derived without substantive
change from former HE § 9-219.

Subsection (d)(3) of this section is new language
inserted by amendment during the 1987 Session of the
General Assembly to add a substantive provision that
prevents the Secretary from prohibiting the
construction of shallow wells and privies under
certain conditions.

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to

"private sewage disposal system" is substituted for

the former reference to "private sewage disposal
plant" for conformity.

In subsection (c) of this section, the references to
"on-site sewage disposal system" are substituted for
the former references to "waste disposal system", for
clarity.
