capital improvement program for storm water management, may
not be adopted, or any drainage system constructed, except
for the protection of an individual's home, by any person,
firm, corporation, or municipality, unless the plan or

in the City of Bowie or in Montgomery County, except for
that portion of the City of Takoma Park now situated in

City of Bowie or by Montgomery County and not the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission; provided, however, that
whenever the City of Bowie or Montgomery County, prepares a
plan, system, or design, or whenever a plan, system, or
design has been submitted to the City of Bowie or Montgomery
County, a copy of the same shall be submitted to the
commission which shall have a specified reason-able time to
review and comment thereon to the City of Bowie or
Montgomery County to indicate any and all conflicts in the
plan, system, or design with the commission's existing or
planned water supply or sanitary sewer systems and the
approval by Montgomery County or the City of Bowie shall
avoid any of the conflicts identified by the commission.
When the commission receives a copy of a plan submitted to
or by the City of Bowie, it shall promptly provide a copy to
the governing body of Prince George's County for review and
comment.

submitted by the City of Bowie, advises the city that it
finds that construction in accordance with the plans will
cause stormwater runoff problems in the maintenance of
existing Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission facilities
or construction and maintenance of planned facilities, the
City of Bowie may not authorize the issuance of a permit or
authorize construction to begin until such time as the
matter is resolved by the parties or, in the alternative, by
the court.

(d)  Any violation of the provisions of sections 3-7
through 3-12 shall be a misdemeanor, punishable under
section 18-7.
