(a)   (1)   Prince George's County, Montgomery County, the City of Bowie, the City
of Takoma Park, and any person or any municipality may not adopt a
stormwater management plan, system, or design, including a capital
improvement program for stormwater management:
      (i)   Unless the stormwater management plan or design is in accordance with
the 6-year capital improvement program of the jurisdiction responsible
for stormwater management in the affected area and is approved by that
jurisdiction; and
      (ii)   Except for the protection of an individual's home where it has no
adverse impact on other properties or stormwater management systems.
    (2)   (i)   If Prince George's County, the City of Bowie, the City of Takoma Park,
or Montgomery County prepares a stormwater management plan, system, or
design, or if a stormwater management plan, system, or design has been
submitted to the City of Bowie, the City of Takoma Park, Montgomery
County, or Prince George's County, the city or the county shall submit
a copy of the plan, system, or design to the WSSC. After the
submission, the WSSC shall have a specified, reasonable time to review
and comment on the plan, system, or design to the city or the county to
indicate any conflicts in the plan, system, or design with the existing
or planned water supply or sanitary sewer systems of the WSSC. The
approval by Prince George's County, Montgomery County, the City of
Bowie, or the City of Takoma Park shall avoid any of the conflicts
identified by the WSSC.
      (ii)   When the WSSC receives a copy of a plan from the City of Bowie, the
WSSC shall promptly provide a copy to the County Council and County
Executive of Prince George's County for review and comment.
      (iii)   When the WSSC receives a copy of a plan from the City of Takoma Park,
the WSSC shall promptly provide a copy to the County Council and County
Executive of Montgomery County for review and comment.
      (iv)   When Prince George's County receives a plan that provides for drainage
into any City of Bowie storm drain or stormwater management facility or
onto any City of Bowie easement, the county shall promptly provide a
copy of the plan to the City of Bowie for review and comment.
  (b)   If the WSSC or either county, after reviewing a plan submitted by the
City of Bowie, or the City of Takoma Park, advises the city that the
WSSC or either county finds that construction in accordance with the
plan will cause stormwater runoff problems in the maintenance of
existing facilities or construction and maintenance of planned
facilities, the City of Bowie or the City of Takoma Park may not
authorize the issuance of a permit or authorize construction to begin
until the matter is resolved by the parties or by the court.
