Nothing contained in this Code shall be construed to abridge or alter rights of action or remedies under the common law or statutory law, criminal or civil; nor shall any provision of this Code, or any act done by virtue thereof, be construed as estopping the state, or any municipality or person in the exercise of their rights under the common law to suppress nuisances or to abate pollution. Nothing in this Code shall in any way impair or affect a person's right to recover damages for pollution.
B. Nothing in this Code shall be construed to preclude the disposition of any matter by stipulation, agreed settlement, consent order or default.
C. Unless otherwise specified, the violations, remedies and penalties contained in this Code are in addition to those in the Environmental Crimes Act and other Oklahoma law. The specific enforcement provisions of other articles of this Code shall control over the provisions of this part when inconsistent.
D. The provisions of this part shall extend to all programs administered by the Department regardless of whether the statutes creating such program are codified in Title 27A of the Oklahoma Statutes.
