Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, after consultation
with and advice of the soil conservation districts of the
two counties and the Department of [Health and Mental
Hygiene] NATURAL RESOURCES, shall prepare and adopt rules
and regulations for erosion and siltation control

regulations shall be adopted and enforced as are others of
the Commission under authority conferred by other laws.
These rules and regulations apply to any contractor doing
work for the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission.

the plans, the Commission may issue a permit for
construction. In every case conditions of any permit granted
for work performed in Montgomery County by any contractor
doing work for the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission
and by any public service company, as defined in § 2,
Article 78, of the Code may not be less stringent than
standards incorporated into the [the] provisions of any
grading or building law or ordinance adopted pursuant to §
8-1103 of this subtitle. Montgomery County shall inspect and
enforce the conditions of the approved plans and permits.
The provisions of this subsection do not apply until the
soil conservation district in the county approves erosion
and siltation control requirements for utility construction
in that county.
