§ 17.68.1100. Disclaimer of liability.

A.

The degree of protection required by this chapter is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes. The standards set forth herein are minimal standards and this chapter does not imply that compliance will ensure that there will be no unauthorized discharge of hazardous material. This chapter shall not create liability on the part of the city, any officer or employee thereof for any damages that result from reliance on this chapter or any administrative decision lawfully made thereunder. All persons handling, storing, using, processing, and disposing of hazardous materials within the city should be and are advised to determine to their own satisfaction the level of protection in addition to that required by this chapter necessary or desirable to ensure that there is no unauthorized discharge of hazardous materials.

B.

This chapter is not intended to create any different standard or obligation for the storage of carcinogens than is imposed for the storage of other hazardous materials. Hazardous materials are identified as carcinogens herein for public record purposes only and the identification of a material as a carcinogen shall not require a different or stricter application of the provisions of this chapter, nor notice to any person under any circumstances other than those expressly specified in this chapter, nor shall such identification create any other duty or obligation upon city different from or additional to those duties or obligations applicable to the storage of other hazardous materials.
