The permit process of this chapter is not to be construed as a grant of any right or entitlement but rather the permit evidences that the health, welfare, and safety of the residents of the County will not be harmed by the extraction and exportation of groundwater outside the County boundaries. The permit in no way exempts, supersedes, or replaces any other provisions of Federal, State, and (with approval of the Board) District or local laws and regulations including but not limited to Water Code Section 1220, the Groundwater Management Act, and any actions provided for in California groundwater law, well drilling and maintenance or building permit requirements.
