     116.11 Emergency powers. 


    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 shall remain effective until notice, hearing, 
 and determination pursuant to other provisions of law, or, in 
 the interim, as otherwise ordered.  A final order of the agency 
 in these cases shall be appealable in accordance with chapter 14.
