Where any tidal wetlands are subject to pollution, the commissioner
and attorney general shall take all appropriate action to abate the
pollution. In addition, the commissioner may restrict or order cessation
of solid waste disposal, deep well disposal, or liquid waste disposal
where such is polluting a given area of tidal wetland. Where pesticides,
chemical products, or fertilizer residues are the polluting agents, the
commissioner shall confer with other appropriate public officials to
limit the use of such substances at their source; after appropriate
consultations, the commissioner may make such rules and regulations as
he deems necessary under section 3-0301 of the environmental
conservation law.
