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.
