                          HON. ELTON GALLEGLY

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 14, 2009

  Mr. GALLEGLY. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the House Republican 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 3183, the Energy and 
Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010:
  Requesting Member: Rep. Elton Gallegly
  Bill: H.R. 3183--Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 2010
  Account: Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Calleguas Municipal Water District
  Address of Requesting Entity: 2100 Olsen Road, Thousand Oaks, CA 
91360
  Description of Request: This request is for the Calleguas Municipal 
Water District Recycling Plant, which will provide critical support to 
the mission of providing safe and reliable drinking water to the 
600,000 people living in the Water District's service area. Each year, 
the Calleguas Municipal Water District imports over 110,000 acre-feet 
of water through the California Water Project, and imports constitute 
100 percent of Calleguas' supply. The $6,000,000 requested through the 
Bureau of Reclamation would provide the 25 percent federal share to 
continue construction of a facility that will reclaim and reuse over 
50,000 acre-feet of water annually. This recycled resource will replace 
water that otherwise would have to be imported, with the added benefit 
of ensuring water supply in the case of delivery interruptions due to 
natural disasters or attacks on the imported water infrastructure. The 
funding for this project, authorized by P.L. 104-266, section 2, will 
be used for development of a pipeline system that would collect and 
convey brackish groundwater and recycled water for direct use, 
stretching local water supplies. The Recycling Plant will facilitate 
the development of up to 50,000 acre-feet of water per year for 
municipal and agricultural uses, thereby reducing the need to import 
water to the region from Northern California. The bill provides 
$100,000 in funding for this project request.
  Requesting Member: Rep. Elton Gallegly
  Bill: H.R. 3183--Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 2010
  Account: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: County of Ventura
  Address of Requesting Entity: 800 So. Victoria Avenue, Ventura, CA 
93009
  Description of Request: This request of $2,000,000 will be used by 
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the Santa Clara River Watershed 
Management Plan Feasibility Study. Encompassing more than 1600 square 
miles, the Santa Clara River watershed is the largest in Southern 
California and is divided into two almost equal parts by the Los 
Angeles-Ventura County line. Since 1991, a group of more than 26 
stakeholders has been developing the Santa Clara River Enhancement and 
Management Plan (SCREMP) for the 100-year floodplain. Recognizing the 
continued pressure of urbanization in both Los Angeles and Ventura 
Counties that may affect the floodplain and environmental resources in 
the Santa Clara River Watershed, the Ventura County Watershed 
Protection District, Los Angeles County, and the U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers agreed to cooperate in expanding the SCREMP to complete a 
feasibility study for the Santa Clara River Watershed Protection Plan. 
This funding would go toward the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's 50% 
share of the total project cost of $8.2 million. The bill provides 
$500,000 in funding for this project.
