Section 130. Effect of a permit

A. Compliance with a surface water withdrawal permit constitutes compliance with the surface water withdrawal permit requirements of §§ 62.1-242 through 62.1-253 of the Code of Virginia.

B. Nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed as an expressed or implied waiver of other permit requirements, state or federal, including the Virginia water protection permit and Water Withdrawal Reporting (9VAC25-200-10 et seq.) of the Regulations of the State Water Control Board.

C. The issuance of a permit does not convey any property rights in either real or personal property, or any exclusive privileges, nor does it authorize injury to private property or any invasion of personal rights or any infringement of federal, state or local law or regulation.

D. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as altering, or authorizing any alteration of, any existing riparian rights except as set forth in permits issued pursuant to this chapter. The conditions in such permits shall be in force only in those times when low stream flow, or the potential therefor, result in a declaration as provided for in subsection C of 9VAC25-220-40.
