Direction for emergency response may be obtained from local and state emergency response personnel. Emergency response may take any form necessary to prevent or reduce the threat of danger to human health, safety, or the environment provided such action does not contribute to a deterioration of the existing release situation. Upon resolution of the emergency situation the responsible person shall begin to comply with the procedures set forth in this chapter and submit a summary to the department of the emergency response action taken in a time schedule established by the department for the release.
