5. Every municipality shall submit a storm water management plan and implementing ordinances adopted pursuant to this act to the county planning agency or county water resources association, as appropriate. No plan or ordinances shall take effect without approval by said agency or association. Said agency or association shall approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove said plan or ordinances in regard to their compatibility with applicable municipal, county, regional or State storm water management plans. No storm water management plan or ordinances shall be approved that are contrary to recognized storm water management principles or public safety regulations adopted pursuant to section 5 of P.L.1991, c.194 (C.40:55D-95.1). The agency or association shall set forth in writing its reasons for disapproval of any plan or ordinance, or in the case of the issuance of a conditional approval, the agency or association shall specify the necessary amendments to the plan or ordinances. Any plan or ordinance approved pursuant to this section shall take effect immediately. Any plan or ordinance conditionally approved according to this section shall take effect upon the adoption by the governing body of the amendments proposed by the agency or association. Where the agency or association fails to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove a plan or ordinance within 60 days of receipt of the plan or ordinance, the plan or ordinance shall be considered approved.
