## Summary

**Transfers administrative jurisdiction of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus to the District of Columbia** and sets conditions to protect parkland and the Anacostia waterfront while assigning development and cleanup responsibilities to the District. - District of Columbia: Gains authority to develop the 174-acre Campus for stadium, commercial, residential, park, and public uses but must reserve at least 30% as the "Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Park" and provide parking, public safety, and measures to reduce noise and traffic. The transfer takes effect within 180 days and lasts at least 99 years. - Local residents and the environment: The law requires improved public access to the Anacostia River and the Anacostia River Trail, preserves a defined riparian area from new development, and requires actions that protect wetlands near Kingman Island. - Federal obligations and costs: Ownership stays with the United States. The District bears transfer costs and must negotiate a memorandum of understanding with the Secretary to allocate responsibility for cleanup and other obligations under CERCLA and the Solid Waste Disposal Act. The law bars Members of Congress and certain officials from receiving lease benefits from the Campus.
