The fact that a land-disturbing activity for which a permit has been issued results in injury to the property of another shall neither constitute proof of nor create a presumption of a violation of the standards provided for in this chapter or the terms of the permit.

No provision of this article shall permit any persons to violate the Erosion and Sedimentation Act of 1975, O.C.G.A. § 12-7-1 et seq., the Georgia Water Quality Control Act, O.C.G.A. § 12-5-20 et seq., or the rules and regulations promulgated and approved thereunder or pollute any waters of the state as defined thereby.
