(a) This chapter is not intended to interfere with, abrogate, or annul any other ordinance, rule or regulation, statute, or other provision of law. The requirements of this chapter should be considered minimum requirements, and where any provision of this chapter imposes restrictions different from those imposed by any other ordinance, rule or regulation, or other provision of law, whichever provisions are more restrictive or impose higher protective standards for human health or the environment shall be considered to take precedence.
(b) If a court of competent jurisdiction declares any clause, section, or provision of these regulations invalid or unconstitutional, the validity of the remainder shall not be affected thereby.
(c) These regulations shall not be construed as authorizing any persons to maintain a private or public nuisance on his or her property or to violate any other applicable laws. Compliance with the provisions of this regulation shall not be a defense in any action to abate such nuisance or comply with applicable laws.
(d) Compliance with the provisions of this regulation shall not relieve any person from responsibility for damage to any person otherwise imposed by law.
(e) This regulation shall not be construed to relieve any person from complying with all applicable state and federal laws, including but not limited to laws requiring authorization prior to impacts to streams or wetlands.
(f) The standards set forth herein and promulgated pursuant to this chapter are minimum standards; therefore, this chapter does not intend nor imply that compliance by any person will ensure that there will be no contamination, pollution, nor unauthorized discharge of pollutants.
