				  agency to enforce any provision of law that it is authorized or required to
				  enforce or administer, nor to limit or restrict cities or counties from
				  promulgating laws which are at least as strict as the regulations contained in
				  this Article. However, no city or county may promulgate laws which are
				  inconsistent with the provisions of this Article.
(d) Nothing in this Article shall be
				  construed as relieving any owner or operator from obtaining all required

				  regulations, or other requirements of other regulatory or enforcement agencies,
				  including, but not limited to, local health agencies, the Regional Water
				  Quality Control Board, the Department of Toxic Substances Control, air quality
				  management district or air pollution control district, local land use
