                        Wednesday, July 15, 2009

  Mr. DREIER. Madam Speaker, pursuant to the Republican leadership 
standards on earmarks, I am submitting the following information 
regarding earmarks I received as part of H.R. 3183, Energy and Water 
Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, FY2010
  Requesting Member: Congressman David Dreier
  Bill Number: H.R. 3183, Energy and Water Development and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act, FY2010
  Account: Bureau of Reclamation, Water and Related Resources
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: San Gabriel Basin Water Quality 
Authority
  Address of Requesting Entity: 1720 West Cameron Avenue, Suite #100, 
West Covina, California 91790
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $4,000,000 for the San 
Gabriel Basin Restoration Fund to continue the design, construction, 
and operation of water projects to contain and treat the spreading 
groundwater contamination in the San Gabriel and Central Water Basins. 
The San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority was established by 
California State law under SB1679 in 1993 to develop, finance and 
implement groundwater treatment programs in the San Gabriel Basin and 
act as a clearinghouse for Federal funds that have been appropriated 
for these programs. The project is authorized in P.L. 106-554 and this 
request is consistent with the intended and authorized purpose of the 
Bureau of Reclamations Water and Related Resources account. The current 
authorization ceiling for the Restoration Fund has yet to be reached, 
with roughly $4,000,000 yet to be appropriated. The San Gabriel Basin 
Water Quality Authority will provide a minimum of a 35% cost share 
which will come directly from the Water Quality Authority.
  Requesting Member: Congressman David Dreier
  Bill Number: H.R. 3183, Energy and Water Development and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act, FY2010

  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Inland Empire Utilities Agency
  Address of Requesting Entity: 6075 Kimball Avenue, Chino, California 
91710
  Description of Request: Provide an earmark of $100,000 for the Inland 
Empire Regional Water Recycling Project. Construction of the project is 
underway, and FY 2010 funding will be used 50% for purple pipe and 50% 
for storage tanks. When complete, the project will yield 100,000 acre-
feet of new recycled water annually. The project is authorized in P.L. 
108-361, Title 1, Section 103(d)(3) and additional specific 
authorization is provided in P.L. 110-161, Sec. 210. The total project 
cost is $226 million. As is consistent with law, the Federal share is 
capped at $20 million, which is less than 10% of the total cost of the 
project.
