On the recordJuly 17, 1997
the ARS has spent $100,000, roughly, studying the dump and has found it to be a typical dump with a little methane gas and other benign chemicals, and therefore to do what Federal regulations would require the State of Texas, Texas A&M University would be very remiss to spend $3 million cleaning up something that they consider would not be necessary to meet any health reasons. So the State of Texas cannot by law accept a gift of land that contains a garbage dump. So this language striking the provision is required for ARS to reverse the existing statutory language directing the conveyance. That is all simply that the amendment does.
