If there is imminent and substantial danger to the health and welfare of the people of the
state, or of any of them, as a result of the pollution of air, land, or water, the agency may by
emergency order direct the immediate discontinuance or abatement of the pollution without
notice and without a hearing or at the request of the agency, the attorney general may bring an
action in the name of the state in the appropriate district court for a temporary restraining order
to immediately abate or prevent the pollution. The agency order or temporary restraining order
