                        Thursday, June 25, 2009

  Mr. TERRY. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding earmarks I received as part of the Department of the 
Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill for 
Fiscal Year 2010 (H.R. 2998).
  My Congressional District received $500,000 for the City of Omaha 
Public Works Department, located at 1819 Farnam Street, Suite 600, 
Omaha, NE 68183. This money is from the State and Tribal Assistance 
Grant (STAG) account, and will be used by the City of Omaha for the 
design and construction of improvements to portions of the City's 
combined sewer system. These projects will allow the City of Omaha to 
reduce the amount of sewage overflowing to receiving streams. These 
efforts are consistent with the latest requirements from the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Nebraska Department of 
Environmental Quality (NDEQ) to achieve the goal of improved water 
quality in the United States.
