§ 24-0509. Relationship to other laws.

No provision of this article shall be deemed to remove from any local
government any authority pertaining to the regulation of freshwater
wetlands, whether such wetlands are under the jurisdiction of the
department or a county pursuant to subdivision 4 of section 24-0501 of
this title, under the county, general city, general municipal, municipal
home rule, town, village, or any other law, provided, however, that any
such regulation by a local government shall be at least as protective of
freshwater wetlands as the regulations in effect pursuant to the
provisions of this chapter or any rule or regulation promulgated
pursuant to the provisions of this article or pursuant to a local
freshwater wetlands protection law or ordinance adopted by a county
pursuant to the provisions of section 24-0501 of this title.
