On February 10, 2022, the Alabama Gulf Coast Recovery Council (AGCRC) released a draft amendment to Alabama’s SEP for a 45-day public comment period. Read the amendment here.

This amendment to Alabama’s SEP proposes to approve $37,161,000 in contingency funds to augment the budgets of approved SEP projects and programs, as needed, in response to the increased cost of labor and materials and/or other considerations. All other projects and programs (and the corresponding details and provisions) approved in the initial Alabama SEP remain in effect. The purpose of the contingency funding is to enable approved SEP projects and programs to be completed as previously described in the initial SEP. These funds are not to be used for new projects or programs, or to change the overall scope or objective of approved SEP projects or programs.

Public comment on the draft SEP amendment will be accepted until April 1, 2022. Comments can be submitted by email to agcrc@dcnr.alabama.gov or mailed to Alabama Gulf Coast Recovery Council, 31115 Five Rivers Blvd., Spanish Fort, Alabama 36527.
