A permit issued under this regulation confers upon a permittee a right to withdraw and use surface water pursuant to the terms and conditions of the permit. The permit does not convey a property right to the permittee nor does it relieve the permittee from being required to obtain and comply with any other permits or approvals that may be required under other existing laws. Nothing in this regulation shall be construed to diminish the Department's authority to regulate facilities under any other applicable laws.
