Approval. The unified program manager shall not approve a corrective action plan unless the application meets the requirements of this Section and the unified program manager determines that implementation of the corrective action plan will adequately protect human health, safety and the environment. However, approval of a corrective action plan shall not constitute a warranty or guarantee by the County, the CUPA or the unified program manager of its effectiveness, shall not give rise to any claim or cause of action against the unified program manager, the CUPA, or the County, and shall not relieve the owner or operator of any liability the owner or operator may otherwise have.
