                         Friday, June 26, 2009

  Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican 
Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following 
information regarding earmarks I secured as part of H.R. 2996, the 
Department of Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 2010.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Geoff Davis 
  Bill Number: H.R. 2996
  Account: STAG
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: City of Wurtland
  Address of Requesting Entity: 500 Wurtland Avenue, Wurtland, Kentucky 
41144
  Description of Request: Appropriate $500,000 for the Wurtland/
Greenup/Lloyd Regional Sewer project. This project will extend sewers 
to underserved areas and decommission one WWTP consolidating service 
with a more modern regional facility. The project serves approximately 
3,200 people and will accommodate growth and expansion. Completion of 
the project will improve health and environmental conditions in the 
region. In addition, it will eliminate two package plants & 
approximately 520 septic systems. The Kentucky Infrastructure Authority 
and the Greenup County Fiscal Court have committed $1.37 million to 
this project. This project is a valuable use of taxpayer funds because 
it will reduce pollution in local streams that flow into the Ohio River 
and will help the community comply with federal environmental 
standards.
