                        Wednesday, July 15, 2009

  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. 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, 
2010.

Star Borough, 809 Pioneer Road, Fairbanks, AK 99707
  Description of how the money will be spent and why the use of federal 
taxpayer funding is justified: Fairbanks North Star Borough in 
cooperation with the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Center for 
Energy and Power will use funds to perform research and development 
work on an enhanced geothermal system designed to replace the 9 
megawatt combined heat and power unit located on the campus of UAF.

  Legal name and address of entity receiving earmark: City of Kodiak, 
710 Mill Bay Road, Kodiak, AK 99615
  Description of how the money will be spent and why the use of federal 
taxpayer funding is justified: In 1997, the Army Corps completed a 
breakwater to protect Kodiak's St. Herman Harbor. The south channel of 
this new harbor has residual rubble from the construction period that 
needs to be dredged and cleaned out in order to allow the channel 
entrance to be the width and depth intended by the original project 
design.
  Appropriated Amount: $500,000
  Detailed Finance Plan: Army Corps of Engineers Operations and 
Maintenance: $500,000
