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 22-30E-1

further finds that the voluntary assessment and/or cleanup 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
