showing

The
department
may

proceed
directly
against
the
owner

other
4
allegedly
responsible
party.
This
section
does
not
bar
5
any
agreement

harmless,
or
indemnify
a
6
party
to
the

any
costs

Later
proceedings

parties.
The
entry
of

against
a

does
not
bar
a
future
action
by
the
department
18
against
another
person
who
is
later
alleged
to
be
or
19
discovered
to
be
liable
for

paid
by
the
Iowa

fund.
Notwithstanding
section
21
668.5,
a
potentially
responsible
party
shall
not
seek
22
contribution
or
any
other
recovery
from
an

for
which
the
potentially

Subsequent

modify

reduce
the
liability
of
a
party
against
whom

interest.
If
a
claimant
so
elects,
the
17
department’s
litigation
expenses
shall
be
shared
on
a

basis
with
