                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JUDY BIGGERT

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 16, 2009

  Mrs. BIGGERT. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican Leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding earmarks I received as part of the H.R. 3183, Energy and 
Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.
  Requesting Member: Representative Judy Biggert
  Bill Number: H.R. 3183
  Account: Section 206
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Forest Preserve District of Will 
County
  Address of Requesting Entity: 17540 West Laraway Rd, Joliet, IL 60433
  Description of Request: Prairie Bluff Preserve occupies much of the 
groundwater recharge zone for the seeps at Lockport Prairie Nature 
Preserve. Modifying how storm water is managed at the preserve and 
using best management practices, along with restoring naturalized plant 
communities across this portion of the recharge area, will increase 
water infiltration and stabilize the seepage flow at LPNP. This is 
important for protecting the rare habitats and would address several 
goals and objectives contained in the federal recovery plans for these 
species.
