                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 29, 2009

  Mrs. EMERSON. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the House Republican 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information in 
regards to H.R. 2996, the Fiscal Year 2010 Interior, Environment, and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Bill.
  Project Name: City of East Prairie, Missouri Stormwater and Sewer 
Infrastructure
  Bill Number: H.R. 2996
  Account: STAG Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Project
  Requesting Entity: City of East Prairie, Missouri
  Address of Requesting Entity: 219 N. Washington St., East Prairie, 
Missouri 63845-1141
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark in the amount of $200,000 
to rebuild East Prairie, Missouri's wastewater and storm water 
infrastructure. The existing 84-year-old water infrastructure is 
crumbling under the streets due to sinkholes which have plagued the 
community. The sinkholes are destroying box culverts, which is posing a 
threat to streets and houses in East Prairie. The money procured will 
pay for the construction of new stormwater sewers. A minimum of 45 
percent of the total project cost will come directly from the City of 
East Prairie, Missouri.
