Text

The provisions of this act do not apply when the dumping of any material is necessary to secure the safety of human life or of vessels, aircraft, platforms, or other man-made structures at sea in cases of force majeure caused by stress of weather, or in any case that constitutes a danger to human life or a real threat to vessels, aircraft, platforms, or other man-made structures at sea, if dumping appears to be the only way of averting the threat and if there is every probability that the damage consequent upon the dumping will be less than would otherwise occur. In such instances dumping pursuant to this section shall be so conducted as to minimize the likelihood of damage to human or marine life. P.L. 1988, c. 61, s. 4.
