The design of stormwater management design plans shall be prepared by any individual whose qualifications are acceptable to the Department. The Department may require that the design be prepared by either a professional engineer, professional land surveyor, or landscape architect licensed in the State of Maryland, as necessary to protect the public or the environment. If a stormwater BMP requires either a dam safety permit from the Administration or a small pond approval from the Prince George's Soil Conservation District, the Department shall require that the design be prepared by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Maryland.
