Full text
1. When any hazardous condition exists, the director may remove or provide for the removal and disposal of the hazardous substance at any time, unless the director determines such removal will be properly and promptly accomplished by the owner or operator of the vessel, vehicle, container, pipeline or other facility.
2. The director may use any resources available under the hazardous condition contingency plan to provide for the removal of hazardous substances. If the director finds that public agencies cannot provide the necessary labor or equipment or if the director determines that emergency conditions exist, the director may contract with a private person or agency for removal of the hazardous substance. In those cases where equipment or services are obtained from a public or private person or agency under emergency conditions, section 455B.105, subsection 6 does not apply.
3. An action taken by a person to abate, control, or clean up a hazardous substance involved in a hazardous condition shall not be construed as an admission of liability for a hazardous condition.
