299J.08 COMMISSIONER REPORTS RELEASE; ADVICE, COORDINATION.
Upon receiving notice of an emergency release, the commissioner or a designee shall
immediately report the emergency release to the emergency responder of the appropriate local
governmental unit, to the Pollution Control Agency if the notice of the release is required by
section
115.061, and to any other person or office, as provided by the rules or procedures
of the Office of Pipeline Safety. A pipeline operator's report of an emergency release to the
commissioner satisfies the notification requirements of section

advise the emergency responder concerning appropriate emergency procedures and coordinate
the procedures. The commissioner shall also coordinate responses to pipeline accidents with
the federal government according to procedures established by the United States Secretary of
Transportation.
