  5  chapter 376 or chapter 403 for preexisting soil or groundwater

  6  contamination due solely to its ownership. This subsection

  7  does not affect the rights or liabilities of any past or

  8  future owners of the acquired property nor does it affect the

  9  liability of any governmental entity for the results of its

10  actions which create or exacerbate a pollution source. An

11  authority and the Department of Environmental Protection may

12  enter into interagency agreements for the performance,

13  funding, and reimbursement of the investigative and remedial

14  acts necessary for property acquired by the authority.
