                        Thursday, June 25, 2009

  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican 
Leadership standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following 
information regarding earmarks I received as part of the Fiscal Year 
2010 Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations Act.
  Bill: H.R. 2996, Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010
  Account: STAG Water and Wastewater Infrastructure
  Legal Name and Address of Requesting Entity: Borough of Hopatcong 
located at 111 River Styx Road, Hopatcong, New Jersey 07843.
  Description of Request: H.R. 2996 includes $500,000 for the Borough 
of Hopatcong's Drinking Water Disinfection Improvement project to 
provide safe drinking water to the residents of the Borough. The funds 
will be used to install large diameter pipes at public community supply 
wells to improve the disinfection of the raw water before being 
distributed.
  Bill: H.R. 2996, Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010
  Account: Land Acquisition (Fish and Wildlife Service)
  Legal Name and Address of Requesting Entity: The entity to receive 
funding for this project is the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge 
located at 241 Pleasant Plains Road, Basking Ridge, New Jersey 07920.
  Description of Request: H.R. 2996 includes $750,000 for the Great 
Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, a component of the Fish and Wildlife 
Service. The Great Swamp Refuge is located in Morris County, New 
Jersey, about 26 miles west of Manhattan's Times Square. The refuge was 
established by an act of Congress on November 3, 1960. The protection 
of this gem of wilderness in the heart of dense suburban development is 
one of the success stories of our National Wilderness Preservation 
System. The funding would be used to acquire an 18.31 acre parcel of 
land, known as the Great Brook Property, adjacent to the Great Swamp 
National Wildlife Refuge, which provides critical habitat for numerous 
rare species.
