A grading or building permit may not be issued for any parcel
or lot unless final erosion and sediment control has been approved
by the SCD and stormwater management plans have been approved by the
Wicomico County Department of Public Works as meeting all the requirements
of the Design Manual and this chapter. Where appropriate, a building
permit may not be issued without:
A. Recorded easements for the stormwater management facility and easements
to provide adequate access for inspection and maintenance from a public
right-of-way;

Nonrefundable permit fees will be collected at each phase of
stormwater management plan submittal. Permit fees will provide for
the cost of plan review, administration, and management of the permitting
process, and inspection of all projects subject to this chapter. A
permit fee schedule shall be established by Wicomico County based
upon the relative complexity of the project and may be amended from
time to time.
Any grading or building permit issued by Wicomico County may
be suspended or revoked after written notice is given to the permittee
for any of the following reasons:
A. Any violation(s) of the conditions of the stormwater management plan
approval;
B. Changes in site runoff characteristics upon which an approval or
waiver was granted;
C. Construction is not in accordance with the approved plan;
D. Noncompliance with correction notice(s) or stop-work order(s) issued
for the construction of any stormwater management practice; and
E. An immediate danger exists in a downstream area in the opinion of
Wicomico County.
In granting an approval for any phase of site development, the
Wicomico County Department of Public Works may impose such conditions
that may be deemed necessary to ensure compliance with the provisions
of this chapter and the preservation of public health and safety.
