    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, or for any other relief that may be appropriate. A certified copy of a judgment 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(s) in accordance with law.

    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 expenses under this article in any way release the various parties, or limit them beyond acknowledgment of receipt of funds recovered, from other legal liability incurred as a result of hazardous material cleanup or abatement as defined under any local, state or federal rule or regulation.
