It states that 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 intends for this chapter to provide evidence of financial responsibility for owners and operators of underground and aboveground storage tanks under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Subtitle I, the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 and other federal laws. Owners and operators of underground and aboveground storage tanks may choose to participate in the fund created by this chapter as one of several available alternatives to provide such evidence of financial responsibility as required under said federal laws. Participation in the fund is voluntary; however, in order to participate in the fund, owners and operators must comply with the provisions of this chapter.
