Section 22-30A-1 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter. The Legislature
finds that hazardous substances have been treated, stored or disposed of at sites which are
inactive or abandoned and that such sites have the potential for deleterious impacts on groundwater,
human health or the environment. The Legislature, therefore, declares that it is in the public
interest to assure that such sites are identified and that action is taken to provide for
the cleanup and rehabilitation of such sites within the State of Alabama. The Legislature
intends that funds provided under this chapter be used primarily to clean up and rehabilitate
sites not qualified for or unlikely to receive funding under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. §9601 et seq.) but that the funds
provided under this chapter may also be used to provide state matching funds for cleanups
and for operation and maintenance of sites which have completed...
