san jacinto's just off of i-10. it has dioxin that's been embed for years and it's near a harbor and barge traffic goes through. we have been working with the state level and responsible parties for several years and the solution has been to take a covering and put it over the site and pile rocks on top of the site, and it's been that way for ten years. i was in houston in mid-september and looked at the site, and it's totally unacceptable to have that type of temporary situation because of potential hurricanes coming through and displacing those rocks. so, we provided a permanent solution there, about $115 million of cost that responsible parties were going to bear to provide a permanent, and the citizens, a permanent solution. the citizens i think have been very pleased with the outcome. >> gentleman's time's expired. let me go to mr. jacinto, the other member from texas, mr. green, for five minutes. >> thank you for being here today, administrator. i have a district that used to have the san jacinto past pits for

i used to have the san jacinto waste pits but in texas they keep changing our line. i think it was in pete olson's for a while, so we change our lines in texas. i want to thank you for visiting after harvey and seeing what was there. i appreciate epa continuing to make sure we have a permanent fix there because that area is, like you said, barge traffic, people crab and fish in that area, and both the city, the county and the state have signs up in spanish, english, in vietnamese, that expectant mothers or small children should not eat the crabs or the fish. but i don't know if that day you were there, but every time i go there everybody is fishing. but thank you. hopefully we can move that as quick as possible because it is -- it is an industrial area but it also is a recreational area, because i water skied in that water back when i was young. but is there a contradiction to the priorities of epa between the cleanup of the super fund sites and the agency's commitment to the drastic cuts in the super fund program? i know the epa's budget request was 30% cut in the s
