Any local agency which performs, or causes to be performed, any cleanup, abatement, or other action necessary to remedy the effects of a release of hazardous substances from an underground storage tank is immune from liability for this action to the same extent as the board or regional board is immune if the board or regional board had performed the cleanup, abatement, or other action.
