(a) It shall be the duty of any person or entity which owned, leased, operated, commissioned the use or operation of, contracted for the use or operation of, or otherwise had any possession or control of a motor vehicle or other transportation device or fixed facility which operation, use, possession, or control results in leakage, spillage, or any other dissemination of dangerous or hazardous substance or materials to immediately remove such and clean up the area of such dissemination in such manner that the area involved is fully restored to its condition before such occurrence and to pay all costs therefor.
