              and give written notice to each registered owner or occupier of
              the affected land.
        (2)   It is not a reasonable excuse for a person or employer to fail to
              comply with an obligation under this division on the ground
              that the written notice, or the giving of the written notice,
              might tend to incriminate the person or employer.

320G Use of notice in legal proceedings
        (1)   A written notice given by a person or employer under this
              division is not admissible in evidence against the person or
              employer in a prosecution for an offence against this Act that
              is constituted by the act or omission that caused the event
              under the notice.
        (2)   This section does not prevent other evidence obtained because
              of the written notice, or the giving of the written notice, being
              admitted in any legal proceeding against the person or
              employer.

                     caused, or the extent of environmental harm likely to be
                     caused, by the activity or event; and
              (b)    the need for a transitional environmental program for
