                        Thursday, June 25, 2009

  Mr. MICA. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding an earmark I received in the amount of $500,000 as part of 
the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 2010, Environmental Protection Agency, STAG Water 
and Wastewater Infrastructure Account for the South Seminole and North 
Orange County Wastewater Improvement Project. The entity to receive 
funding for this project is the Orange County Wastewater Transmission 
Authority located at 410 Lake Howell Road, Maitland, Florida.
  This project will replace wastewater pipes and mechanical equipment 
that are approaching the end of their service lives. Portions of the 
Force Main that will be replaced are under the travel lanes of Aloma 
Avenue. The roadway carries 33,000 vehicles per day and a collapse of 
the Aloma Avenue pipe and a resulting collapse of the road would be a 
major public health and safety liability.
