Section 22-30F-2 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter; establishment
of revolving loan program for voluntary remediation of environmentally contaminated areas.
(a) The Legislature finds that rural and urban property in Alabama may have areas of contamination
which may be addressed via the Alabama Land Recycling and Economic Redevelopment Act, Sections

and redevelopment of such properties is in the public interest. (b) The Legislature finds
that industries and developers often give preference to previously unused greenfield sites
over previously used property due largely to concerns over the financial and environmental
liabilities which may be incurred in acquiring such previously used property for reuse and
redevelopment. The Legislature further finds that the appropriate reuse and redevelopment
of properties which are contaminated, or perceived to be contaminated is in...
