More drycleaning cleanup flexibility, smaller reserves

Beginning October 1, 2025, Alabama's drycleaning cleanup fund must usually keep $250,000 in reserve, down from $1 million. This makes more existing money available for cleanup but leaves a smaller reserve. The board can approve a lower balance for emergencies it finds pose an imminent and substantial danger to human health or the environment. Alabama's environmental department no longer must keep other federal, state, or local agencies out of drycleaning contamination cases. The law does not require those agencies to take part.
