The Alabama Land Recycling and Economic Redevelopment Act of 2001 created the State Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) managed by ADEM.  The Act allows for the assessment and remediation of contaminated sites and grants certain liability protections to non-responsible entities wishing to redevelop brownfields sites.  ADEM also assists local governments with training, outreach, and a limited number of Phase 1 and Phase 2 Site Assessments.  In addition, ADEM partners with EPA and the Alabama Department of Revenue to provide additional information on redevelopment, funding sources, tax abatement opportunities, and community outreach.
