Ch. 612

LAWS OF MARYLAND

(C) OTHER UNITS OF STATE GOVERNMENT PROHIBITED FROM
EXERCISING POWERS.

ANOTHER UNIT OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT MAY NOT EXERCISE ANY
POWER GIVEN TO THE SECRETARY UNDER THIS SECTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former HE § 9-228.

The former references to "as this act ... may be
amended from time to time" and "as amended from time
to time" are deleted as unnecessary in light of
Article 1, § 21 of the Code, under which, unless there
is language expressly providing otherwise, subsequent
amendments automatically are included in a reference
to a statute.

The former references to "Public Law 660 (84th
Congress)" and "Public Law 660" are deleted as
unnecessary since Public Law 660 of the 84th Congress,
effective July 9, 1956, Chapter 518, 70 Statutes 498,
was a subsequent amendment to the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act. See 33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq.

The former description of the content and purposes of
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act is deleted as
unnecessary.

As to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also
called the Clean Water Act, see 33 U.S.C. § 1251 et
seq.

9-254. EMPLOYMENT OF EXPERTS, ENGINEERS, AND ASSISTANTS.

WITHIN THE LIMITS OF IN THE STATE BUDGET, THE SECRETARY MAY
EMPLOY AND SET THE COMPENSATION OF ANY EXPERT, ENGINEER, CLERICAL
ASSISTANT, OR OTHER ASSISTANT THAT THE SECRETARY CONSIDERS
NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as HE §
9-226.

The only changes are in style.

9-2 55. TESTS OF WATER AND WASTEWATER.

THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND MENTAL HYGIENE AND THE
DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES SHALL EACH MAKE ANY TEST OF WATER
OR WASTEWATER THAT IT CONSIDERS NECESSARY TO DETERMINE THE
ADEQUACY OF PERFORMANCE OF A WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM, SEWERAGE
SYSTEM, OR INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT.
