     § 518.  Powers reserved under existing laws.
        Nothing in this chapter shall limit in any way whatever the
     powers conferred upon the commission, the department, the
     Department of Environmental Protection or a conservation
     district under laws other than this chapter, including, but not
     limited to, the act of June 22, 1937 (P.L.1987, No.394), known
     as The Clean Streams Law, and the act of July 7, 1980 (P.L.380,

     All such powers are preserved and may be freely exercised. A
     court exercising general equitable jurisdiction shall not be
     deprived of such jurisdiction even though a nuisance or
     condition detrimental to health is subject to regulation or
     other action by the board under this chapter.
