                         Tuesday, July 29, 2008

  Mr. CRENSHAW. Madam Speaker, I rise today to submit documentation 
consistent with the new Republican Earmark Standards.

  Requesting Member: Congressman Ander Crenshaw.
  Bill Number: H.R. 6599--Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and 
Related Agencies.
  Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2009.
  Account: Military Construction, Navy.
  Legal Name of Receiving Entity: Naval Station Mayport.
  Address of Receiving Entity: Mayport, Florida.
  Description of Request: I have secured $3,530,000 in funding in H.R. 
6599 in the Military Construction, Navy account for an Aircraft 
Refueling project at Naval Station Mayport, Florida.
  This project will construct a two (2) outlet, 300gpm/outlet aircraft 
direct fueling system to include concrete foundations and slab on 
grade, 15,000 gallon double wall steel tanks (to be relocated from the 
existing truck fill stand), concrete containment berms, double walled 
underground piping, valves, pumps, pressure gauges, filter separators, 
leak detection monitors for piping and tanks, float switches, double 
wall steel product recovery tank, emergency shut off valves, fuel 
quality monitors, pipe vents, fire protection, pressure indicating 
transmitter and water drainoff system. It would also construct 
underground double walled fuel transfer line from bulk storage to the 
direct fueling facility. The project will properly close, by abandoning 
in place, the existing underground fuel transfer line from the bulk 
storage to the existing truck fill stand. Closure will include pigging/
purging the lines, grout injection of ends, core boring and soil 
sampling along the fuel transfer line, and submission of a Florida 
Department of Environmental Protection Closure Assessment Report.
  In addition, this project will construct a 150 m2, single story 
building on a concrete slab on grade and concrete footings. The 
building and fuel lab will include vinyl floor tile, steel stud/gypsum 
wallboard walls, hollow core interior steel doors, solid core exterior 
steel doors, double glazed single hung windows, modified bitumen 
roofing, interior plumbing, electrical power and lighting wiring, data/
communication wiring, fluorescent lighting fixtures, ceramic bathroom 
tile, HVAC system/distribution/controls and site utilities (electric, 
water, sanitary, fiber optic communication/data). The project 
demolishes building 18 (32 m2) and the truck fill stand facility 142 
(400 GM).
  Naval Station Mayport is a strategic base for the Navy. This project 
was programmed to receive funding in Fiscal Year 2012 but was 
identified by the base commander as the highest unfunded priority in 
Fiscal Year 2009.
  Military Construction projects are always 100 percent funded by the 
U.S. Federal Government so there is no opportunity for matching funds.
