2021 Code of Alabama|Title 22 - Health, Mental Health, and Environmental Control.|Title 1 - Health and Environmental Control Generally.|Chapter 30D - Alabama Drycleaning Environmental Response Trust Fund.|Section 22-30D-2 - Legislative Findings.

Section 22-30D-2Legislative findings.  (a) The Legislature of the State of Alabama makes the following findings and declarations: (1) The soils, water, and air of this state constitute unique and delicately balanced resources. (2) The protection of these resources is vital to the economy of this state. (3) The preservation of waters of this state is a matter of the highest urgency and priority as these waters provide a primary source of potable water in this state and 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. (b) The Legislature makes the following additional findings: (1) Where contamination of soils, waters, or air has occurred, remedial measures have often been delayed for long periods while investigations of the extent of such contamination and determinations as to liability and the extent of liability are made. (2) Such delays result in the continuation and intensification of the threat to the public health, safety, and welfare, in greater damages to the environment, and in significantly higher costs to contain or remediate the contamination. (3) Adequate financial resources must be available to provide funding to investigate such contamination and, if necessary, promptly begin remedial measures. (c) The Legislature makes the following additional findings: (1) Drycleaning agents may have caused contamination in the past as part of the normal operation of drycleaning facilities and wholesale distribution facilities, and in many instances, such contamination may have occurred while such facilities were being operated in full compliance with laws existing at the time of such possible contamination. (2) Such contamination, if any, which may have been caused by drycleaning agents at drycleaning facilities and wholesale distribution facilities may possibly pose a threat to the quality of the soils and waters of this state. (3) Owners and operators of drycleaning facilities and wholesale distributors individually may lack the resources to investigate, assess, and, if necessary, remediate such contamination. (4) Resources must be generated by the drycleaning industry as a whole to provide funds to establish and fund a drycleaning self-insurance program to provide funds to cover the cost to investigate, assess, and, if necessary, remediate sites contaminated by drycleaning agents.

2021 Code of Alabama|Title 22 - Health, Mental Health, and Environmental Control.|Title 1 - Health and Environmental Control Generally.|Chapter 30E - Alabama Land Recycling and Economic Redevelopment Act.|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.

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 further finds that the appropriate reuse and redevelopment of properties which are contaminated, or perceived to be contaminated, is in the public interest. (c) The Legislature finds that the reuse of previously utilized property is an important component of a sound land use policy that will help to preserve heretofore undeveloped farmland, open space areas, and natural areas; and reduce public costs for installing new water, sewer, and other utilities and highway infrastructure. (d) The Legislature finds that it is necessary to pass legislation that provides a mechanism to implement a cleanup program which encourages applicants to voluntarily assess, cleanup, and reuse such properties, while not relieving a "responsible person," as defined by Section 22-30E-3, from any liability for administrative, civil, or criminal fines or penalties otherwise authorized by law and imposed as a result of illegal disposal of waste or for pollution of the land, air, or waters of the state in violation of established laws and regulations on an identified property. (e) Therefore, the Legislature hereby establishes a program, to be implemented, maintained, and administered by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management, to encourage the voluntary cleanup and the reuse and redevelopment of such properties.
