[§342D-52]  Testing of water and aquatic and
other life.  The director may test any water and aquatic and other life
that has been subjected to an oil spill or any other form of water pollution
and assess the environmental effects of the pollution, including its effects
on:



(1)  The quality of the receiving water; and



(2)  Aquatic and other life.



If the department determines that the effects are
such that it would be hazardous to consume the aquatic or other life, the
department shall immediately notify the public of that hazard through the news
media and by posting warning signs in the areas where the water and shoreline
contain aquatic or other life that would be hazardous to consume. [L 1989, c
