The consolidated permit application and review process shall not affect or invalidate the jurisdiction or authority of any agency under the existing law, except to the extent that permitting functions have been transferred by the Act to the department for the purposes of the project, and each federal agency shall issue its own permit or approval based on its own jurisdiction.
