                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 25, 2009

  Mr. BILBRAY. Madam Speaker, I submit the following:
  Requesting Member: Congressman Brian Bilbray
  Bill Number: H.R. 2996--Department of the Interior, Environment, and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010
  Account: Environmental Protection Agency, State Tribal Assistance 
Grants
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: City of Carlsbad, CA
  Address: 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, CA 92008
  Description of Request: I received an earmark of $500,000 for the 
Vista-Carlsbad Interceptor project (VC4), consisting of wastewater 
pipeline improvements project, including the construction of a new 24-
inch HDPE forcemain, the trenchless rehabilitation (lining) of the 
existing 24-inch forcemain and refurbishment of pipeline appurtenances. 
VC4 is one of a number of joint wastewater projects between the cities 
of Vista and Carlsbad. VC4 is one of two pipelines that convey all of 
the wastewater from the City of Vista to the Encina regional wastewater 
treatment facility. In April 2007, the 24-inch ductile iron pipeline 
ruptured creating a significant sewage spill into the Buena Vista 
Lagoon. The 2,400 foot long 24-inch diameter pipeline receives flow 
from the cities of Carlsbad, Oceanside and Vista. This is the only year 
of funding needed to complete this aspect of the project. The cities of 
Carlsbad and Vista will provide the remaining funds required for the 
project directly.
