Senate Bill 480 amends the Transportation Code to authorize the Texas Transportation Commission to enter into an environmental covenant for the purpose of subjecting real property in which the Texas Department of Transportation has an ownership interest to a plan or the performance of work for environmental remediation. The bill sets forth certain requirements for the environmental covenant and the plan or performance of work, and it requires the commission to notify each owner of a property interest in the applicable property, each adjacent landowner, and each applicable local government of the proposal to enter into an environmental covenant at least 30 days before the commission considers an order to execute the covenant.
