The applicant shall obtain any easements or other property rights
or interests from affected adjacent property owners concerning modification
of water flow and drainage, in accordance with the Design Manual,
from the site. Approval of a stormwater management plan does not create
any new right to collect or direct runoff onto adjacent or downstream
property. The County's adoption and implementation of stormwater management
controls through this chapter is required by Maryland state law and
is a governmental function. The County shall have no liability in
tort to any applicant, any third person, firm, corporation, or other
entity in connection with the review, approval, or disapproval of
any plan, stormwater management system, stormwater management measure,
technique, or structure, or any amendments, modifications, or changes
thereto, or for any other decision or action in connection with or
resulting from application of this chapter.
