authority to issue grading and building permits as otherwise provided
by law. No grading or building permit shall be issued until the
developer submits a grading and sediment control plan [designed by
a professional engineer registered in the State of Maryland;] ap-
proved by the appropriate soil conservation district, and the developer
certifies that all land clearing, construction and development will
be done pursuant to the said plan. Except for those matters exempted

under Section 107 above, a grading and sediment control plan must

be submitted to and approved by the appropriate soil conservation
district, even in such matters where the county or municipality re-
lieves the developer from the necessity of obtaining a grading or
building permit. Criteria for sediment control and for referral of
an applicant to the appropriate soil conservation district shall be
acceptable to the soil conservation district and the Department of
Natural Resources. The county agency responsible for on site in-
spection and enforcement of the provisions of this [subheading]
subtitle shall make a final inspection and forward its report to the
appropriate conservation district. Notice of violation of the pro-
visions of this subtitle shall be filed with the Department of Natural
Resources, as well as with the appropriate county agency.
