(A) In the event that any provision of this subchapter is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to conflict with any provision of the state’s Department of Natural Resources Code, Title 310, and I.C. 25-39-1.5; then and in any such event, the more strict provision shall govern.
(B) In the event that any provision of this subchapter is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be preempted by any state or federal law or regulation, this subchapter shall automatically be deemed amended by eliminating the preempted provision and incorporating in its place the applicable provision of the preempting state or federal law or regulation.
(C) Each provision of this subchapter shall be construed as separate, to end that if any part of it shall be held invalid for any reason, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect.
(D) Compliance with the requirements of this subchapter does not obviate or eliminate the necessity of complying with any other applicable federal, state, or local laws and regulations affecting water wells.
