§ 8-35. Methods of enforcement.

(a)

Civil action. The county may enforce these provisions by civil action in a court of competent jurisdiction for the collection of any amounts due hereunder, plus administrative collection costs, attorneys' fees, or for any other relief that may be appropriate. A certified copy of a judgement in favor of the county may be recorded in the public records, and thereafter shall constitute a lien upon any real or personal property owned by such person and such lien shall be coequal with the lien of all state, district and municipal taxes superior to all other liens, titles, and claims until paid or extinguished.

(b)

Other remedies. This article shall not prohibit the county from pursuing any other remedy, whether civil or criminal, or from instituting any appropriate action or proceedings, including injunction in a court of competent jurisdiction. Nor shall the recovery of extraordinary expenses under this article in any way release the various parties, or limit them, from legal liability incurred as a result of hazardous material cleanup or abatement as defined under any local, state or federal rule or regulation.
