A. This code supplements and references certain provisions of Chapter 23.76 BCC, BCC Title 20, Chapter 1.18 BCC, and other city ordinances and regulations regarding protection of the storm and surface water system.

B. Approvals, decisions, and permits granted under this code are not waivers of the requirements of any other laws, nor do they indicate compliance with any other laws. Compliance is still required with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

C. Compliance with the provisions of this code, the engineering standards, permits or other approvals, rules promulgated by the director, or in manuals published by the Washington State Department of Ecology do not necessarily mitigate all impacts to the environment. The primary obligation for compliance with such regulations and standards is prevention of environmental harm, which ultimately is placed upon property owners and responsible parties as defined in this code and Chapter 1.18 BCC. (Ord. 5905 § 1, 2009.)
