The Honorable Casper R. Taylor, Jr.
Speaker of the House
State House
Annapolis MD 21401
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 1051 — Environment - Wastewater Infrastructure Improvement —
Study.
This bill requires the Maryland Department of the Environment to: (1) in fiscal 2004,
conduct a comprehensive inflow and infiltration data study on every wastewater
treatment system in the State and determine the magnitude of the inflow and
infiltration problem; (2) in fiscal 2005, contract with the Maryland Environmental
Service to conduct at least three comprehensive in-depth inflow and infiltration
studies at selected systems around the State; and (3) in fiscal 2006, finance a utility
rate study for each locality with a wastewater treatment system in Maryland.
Senate Bill 643, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
