                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 24, 2009

  Mr. LaTOURETTE. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding an earmark I received as part of H.R. 2892, the Department of 
Homeland Security Appropriations bill of 2010.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Steven C. LaTourette
  Bill Number: H.R. 2892
  Account: Predisaster Mitigation
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Lake County Storm Water Management 
Agency
  Address of Requesting Entity: 125 E. Erie St., Painesville, OH 44077, 
USA
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $725,000 for the 
Lamplight Lane Retention Basin Project in Willoughby Hills. This flood 
control project along a tributary to the Euclid Creek would be funded 
as a flood mitigation project under FEMA. Funding will be used for 
excavation and embankment, clearing and grubbing, rock channel 
protection, 54'' diameter conduit, 16'x14' box culvert, pavement 
replacement, restoration, channel erosion matting, engineering, 
surveying, inspection, construction, and administration. It is a 
valuable use of taxpayer funds because it will help alleviate 
substantial flooding of multiple properties. Funding this project will 
reduce overall risks to people, structures and property, while also 
reducing the need for funding from an actual disaster declaration.
