(1) The name of the property or another description identifying the property.
(2) The location of the property.
(3) The name of the owner of the property at the time of the property's inclusion in the inventory.
(4) A general description of the voluntary property assessment plan or voluntary cleanup plan.

(b) Beginning August 21, 2001, the property owner of any property listed on the inventory which is designated as having been cleaned up to standards less stringent than those required for unrestricted residential use shall include the following notice in any deed, mortgage, deed to secure debt, lease, rental agreement, or other instrument given or caused to be given by the property owner which creates an interest in the property:
"This property has been listed on the state's Voluntary Cleanup Properties Inventory and has been cleaned up to standards less stringent than those required for unrestricted residential use due to the presence of substances regulated under state law. Certain uses of this property may require additional cleanup. Contact the property owner or the Alabama Department of Environmental Management for further information concerning this property. This notice is provided in compliance with the Alabama Land Recycling and Economic Redevelopment Act."
