The provisions of this chapter hereby adopted,
insofar as they are the same as any ordinances in force immediately
prior to the enactment of this chapter are intended as a continuation
of such ordinances and not as new enactments. The provisions of this
chapter hereby adopted shall not be construed to affect any suit or
proceeding pending in any court, or any rights acquired or liability
incurred, or any cause or causes of action acquired or existing, under
an act or ordinance hereby repealed as cited in this chapter, nor
shall any just or legal right or remedy of any character be lost,
impaired or affected by this chapter.
Until such time as new regulations are promulgated,
all regulations promulgated pursuant to the predecessors to this chapter
shall remain in full force and effect, except to the extent that such
regulations conflict with any provision hereof.
To the extent that the provisions hereof differ
from those established or to be established by the laws of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, by regulation of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Protection or by any other commonwealth
agency, both the Commonwealth requirements and the requirements of
this chapter shall be deemed to be applicable, it being the intent
of this chapter to impose requirements more stringent than those applied
by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Should the provisions hereof
be determined to be incompatible or in conflict with state law or
state regulations, the provisions hereof shall be deemed null and
void and to no effect only to the extent of the incompatibility or
conflict.
