No person who provides assistance or advice in mitigating or attempting to mitigate the effects of an actual or threatened discharge or disposal of hazardous materials, or in preventing, cleaning up, or disposing of or in attempting to prevent, clean up or dispose of any such discharge, shall be subject to any civil or criminal liabilities or penalties. This immunity shall not apply to any person whose act or omission caused in whole or in part the actual or threatened discharge or disposal and who would otherwise be liable for the discharge or disposal.
