                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 15, 2009

  Mr. LaTOURETTE. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
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 of 2010.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Steven C. LaTourette
  Bill Number: H.R. 3183
  Account: Department of Energy--Fossil Energy R&D
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Technology Management Inc.
  Address of Requesting Entity: 290 Alpha Dr., Highland Heights, Ohio 
44143
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $500,000 to be used to 
continue development of a scalable fuel cell system for distributed 
bioenergy generation. Technology Management Inc. has produced a fully 
functional fuel cell system--the size of an appliance--that can be 
installed and used to generate power through biofuels sufficient enough 
to power an Ohio farm. Funds would be dedicated to engineering 
prototypes for manufacturing.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Steven C. LaTourette
  Bill Number: H.R. 3183
  Account: Corps of Engineers--Construction
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: City of Mentor-on-the-Lake
  Address of Requesting Entity: 5860 Andrews Road, Mentor-on-the-Lake, 
Ohio 44060
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $500,000 to be used to 
reconstruct a new storm sewer system along State Route 283. The system 
would help to eliminate flooding and reduce pollution of Lake Erie.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Steven C. LaTourette
  Bill Number: H.R. 3183
  Account: Department of Energy--Fossil Energy R&D
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Parker Hannifin
  Address of Requesting Entity: 9200 Tyler Blvd. Mentor, Ohio 44060
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $300,000 to be used to 
develop new adaptive control technologies for combustion performance. 
This new technology will result in significant changes to combustor 
performance, allowing enhanced operability, increased fuel flexibility 
and increased life of engine components. The project will facilitate 
the use of syngas, a clean fuel, as a replacement for traditional 
fossil fuels to provide power in everything from a building generator 
to a power utility. Because fossil fuel-powered utilities are the 
greatest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, the use of syngas will 
have a positive impact on the environment.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Steven C. LaTourette
  Bill Number: H.R. 3183
  Account: Corps of Engineers--Construction
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Lake County Department of Utilities
  Address of Requesting Entity: 105 Main Street, Painesville, Ohio 
44077
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $500,000 to be used to 
replace the county's existing lift station and forcemain, which is 
located under the Grand River. Replacement of the aging system would 
prevent flooding and potentially hazardous discharges into Lake Erie.
  Requesting Member: Congressman Steven C. LaTourette
  Bill Number: H.R. 3183
  Account: Department of Energy--EERE
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Case Western Reserve University
  Address of Requesting Entity: 10900 Euclid Avenue, Nord Hall Room 
628, Cleveland, Ohio 44106
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark in the amount of $500,000 
for the Great Lakes Institute for Energy Innovation at Case Western 
Reserve University for research, equipment and infrastructure to 
support the institute's regional work in alternative energy including 
wind, solar and smart grid systems. The work will support the nation's 
effort in developing green technologies.
