§ 122-248. Pollution of streams or soil.

(a)

No person shall cause or allow to be caused the depositing of pollution into or onto the streams, drainage ditches or soil of the county. Such a depositing of pollution shall be deemed to be a public nuisance and shall be punishable as a violation of this code. Each day that the offense continues shall be deemed to be a separate offense. The notice of violation requirement provided in section 122-42 shall not be required for cases involving the sudden and accidental releases of pollution.

(b)

This section may be enforced by any remedy as set forth in division 2 of this article.

(c)

It is not the intent of this section to preempt any federal or state water pollution control laws, but instead to compliment such laws so as to provide a local remedy for offenses which are not enforced under such federal or state laws.
