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

sites not qualified for or unlikely to receive funding under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental
