(a) The Director may waive or modify requirements of this Division on such conditions and subject to submission of such reports deemed necessary to insure compliance with the intent of this Subtitle. No waiver or modification will be considered, granted or approved unless:

  (1) Specifically requested in writing; and

  (2) Each such waiver or modification is specifically and separately approved in writing by the Director. Approval of the plans will not constitute approval of any waiver or modification of any requirement of this Subtitle that might otherwise be shown on the plans.

(b) Erosion and Sediment Control Variances: The Prince George's Soil Conservation District may only grant a variance from the requirements of the Standards and Specifications when strict adherence will result in unnecessary hardship and not fulfill the intent of this Ordinance. The owner/developer shall submit a written request for a variance to the Prince George's Soil Conservation District. The request must state the specific variance sought and the reasons for the request. The Prince George's Soil Conservation District shall not grant a variance unless and until sufficient information is provided describing the unique circumstances of the site to justify the variance.
