## Text

Section 3708
Section 3708.40  General
Provisions
a)         It is not the intention of this Part to repeal, abrogate, or
impair any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions.  Where this
Part imposes more stringent restrictions than existing easements, convenants,
or deed restrictions, the provisions of this Part shall prevail.
b)         In their interpretation and application, the provisions of
this Part shall be held to be minimum requirements and shall not be deemed a
limitation or repeal of any other State Statutes or rules or Department
programs.  For example, if the Department owns land to which these rules apply,
lessees may be required to meet lease restrictions on proposed construction
activities in addition to this Part.
c)         This Part shall not create liability on the part of the
Department or any officer or employee thereof for any flood damages that result
from reliance on this Part or any administrative decision lawfully made
thereunder.
d)         If any part of this Part is adjudged unconstitutional or
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Part shall
not be affected thereby.
