In situations where conditions (1) and (2) above apply, then this regulation applies to the whole development (both existing facility and proposed expansion or modification). This regulation also applies to expansions and modifications of existing developments when such expansions and modifications require an amendment to the development's Site Law permit, but only to the noise produced by the expansion or modification.\n\n(3) This regulation does not apply to existing developments or portions of existing developments constructed prior to 1-1-70 or approved under the Site Law prior to the effective date", "truncated": true, "url": "https://www.law.cornell.edu/regulations/maine/06-096-C-M-R-ch-375-SS-10" } ``` ### Get us code section - Capability: `legislation/get_us_code_section` - Description: One section of the United States Code from LII by page URL, citation ('25 U.S.C. § 1912', '42 USC 2000e-2') or title and section: citation, heading, breadcrumbs (title, chapter, subchapter), the text as Markdown, the source credit (enacting public laws), LII's Notes tab (amendments, effective dates, codification) and previous/next sections.
