<div class="chunk-content">
            <p class="p0">
               This article in part carries forward by re-enactment, some of the Watershed Ordinance
               of Martin County, North Carolina (adopted by the board of commissioners on December
               23, 1993), and it is not the intention to repeal but rather to re-enact and continue
               in force such existing provisions so that all rights and liabilities that have accrued
               thereunder are preserved and may be enforced. All provisions of the watershed ordinance
               which are not re-enacted herein are hereby repealed. All suits at law or in equity
               and/or all prosecutions resulting from the violation of any ordinance provisions heretofore
               in effect, which are now pending in any court of this state or of the United States,
               shall not be abated or abandoned by reason of the adoption of the ordinance from which
               this article is derived, but shall be prosecuted to their finality the same as if
               the ordinance from which this article is derived had not been adopted; and any and
               all violations of the existing watershed protection ordinance, prosecutions for which
               have not been instituted, may be hereafter filed and prosecuted; and nothing in this
               article shall be so construed as to abandon, abate or dismiss any litigation or prosecution
               now pending and/or which may heretofore have been instituted or prosecuted.
