(a) If a conflict exists between the existing stormwater control rules of Chapter 5 of Title 21 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations (21 DCMR § 500 et seq.) and the standards set forth in § 2-1226.36, the standards in § 2-1226.36 shall govern; provided, that neither § 2-1226.36 nor subsection (b) of this section shall apply to projects that have submitted a complete stormwater management plan or first building permit application to the Mayor before October 23, 2012.

(b) Notwithstanding § 2-1226.40, if a conflict should arise between § 2-1226.36 and new stormwater rules promulgated by DDOE, pursuant to § 8-103.20, the new stormwater rules shall supersede § 2-1226.36, except for the following provisions:

(1) Subsections (b)(1)(B), (b)(2), (b)(3), and (b)(5);
