(a) The Council of the city specifically recognizes the existence and application of the Federal Noise Pollution and Abatement Act of 1972, popularly known and referred to as the Noise Control Act of 1972, 42 U.S.C. §§ 4901 et seq. The provisions of this article are intended to supplement the federal law and applicable rules and regulations established therefrom and as are administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
(b) The provisions of this article are severable and if any provision or part thereof shall be held invalid for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect or impair any of the other provisions or parts of this article. It is hereby declared to be the intent of the City Council that this article nevertheless would have been adopted if such invalid provision or part thereof had not been included herein.
