Section 22-35-1 Legislative findings and intent. The Legislature of the State of Alabama finds
and declares that certain lands of Alabama constitute unique and delicately balanced resources;
that the protection of these resources is vital to the economy of this state; and that the
preservation of waters is a matter of the highest urgency and priority as these waters provide
a primary source of potable water in this state; that such use can only be served effectively
by maintaining the quality of waters in as close to a comparable previous condition as possible,
taking into account multiple use accommodations necessary to provide the broadest possible
promotion of public and private interests. The Legislature further finds that where contamination
of soils or waters has occurred, remedial measures have often been delayed for long periods
while determinations as to liability and the extent of liability are made; that such delays
result in the continuation and intensification of the...

22-30E-2
Section 22-30E-2 Legislative findings; purpose and intent of chapter; establishment of voluntary
assessment and/or cleanup program for properties with potential environmental contamination.
(a) The Legislature finds that rural and urban property in Alabama may have areas of actual
or perceived contamination at levels that may not be subject to assessment or cleanup under
applicable laws and regulations. The Legislature finds that this perception of contamination
discourages the purchase and productive use of otherwise usable properties. The Legislature
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
used property for reuse and redevelopment. The Legislature...

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

created the Alabama Underground and Aboveground Storage Tank Trust Fund, hereinafter referred
to as the "fund," to be administered by the Secretary-Treasurer of the Retirement

faith as such terms are used in general insurance law. Further, in no event shall combined
claims against the fund for payment of response actions and third-party claims exceed the
per occurrence indemnification limit set by the commission. Under no circumstances shall...
