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...

Section 33-17-2 Legislative intent; construction of chapter. The Legislature hereby makes the
findings of facts and declaration of intent hereinafter set forth in this section. The construction
of a navigable waterway between Demopolis, Alabama and the Tennessee River, utilizing the
channel of the Tombigbee River, would provide a new transportation route of great importance
and would stimulate the development of commerce, agriculture and industry in many sections
of the state. Local flooding along the tributary streams of the Tombigbee River occurs frequently
in the growing and harvesting season and causes considerable damage to agriculture in the
affected sections of the state. Improvements in the channels of the tributary streams will
eliminate much of the damage caused by flooding and will also permit improved farming practices
and better land use. It is the intention of the Legislature by the passage of this chapter
to implement the provisions of Amendment No. 270 of the...
