Anne Arundel County Code Article 16 enforces MD stormwater management regulations. MS4 Phase I permit. Bay Restoration Fund fee applies. Critical Area and flood plain trigger enhanced review.
Anne Arundel County operates under a Phase I Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit from MDE. County Code Article 16 implements Maryland's Stormwater Management Act of 2007 — all new development and redevelopment must use Environmental Site Design (ESD) to the Maximum Extent Practicable. Disturbances of 5,000+ sq ft trigger stormwater plan review. Bay Restoration Fund fee (stormwater remediation fee, also called 'rain tax') is assessed on impervious surface area of developed properties. Chesapeake Bay Critical Area stormwater has enhanced 10% pollution reduction requirements. Illicit discharge to storm drains prohibited.
No plan: stop-work order. Illicit discharge: $500-$10,000. Unpermitted disturbance: $1,000-$25,000.
