This Act does not limit any civil right or remedy that exists apart from this Act, whether at common law or otherwise.
Without limiting subsection (1) , compliance with this Act does not necessarily show that an obligation that exists apart from this Act has been satisfied or has not been breached.
In addition, a breach of the general environmental duty or the duty to restore the environment does not, of itself, give rise to a civil right or remedy.
