                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. CHRISTOPHER H. SMITH

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 24, 2009

  Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican 
Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following 
information regarding earmarks I received as part of the FY 10 Homeland 
Security Appropriation Act.
  Requesting Member: Rep. Christopher H. Smith 
  Bill Number: H.R. 2892
  Account: Federal Emergency Management Agency's Pre-Disaster 
Mitigation
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: City of Trenton
  Address of Requesting Entity: 319 East State Street, Trenton, NJ 
08608
  Description of Request: Funding will be used to help fortify the 
City's water filtration plant from ongoing flooding and contamination 
risk. The plant is responsible for providing safe drinking water to 
225,000 people in Trenton, Hamilton and surrounding Mercer County 
areas.
  Work supported with the $300,000 in federal funds--which the city of 
Trenton will match with $100,000--will protect the drinking water 
supply by eliminating vulnerabilities to contamination resulting from 
future flood events. The city will use it to waterproof open areas, 
relocate vulnerable controls and electronics, and make improvements to 
the sump pump system and the Chlorination storage facility.

                          ____________________
