                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ELTON GALLEGLY

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 17, 2009

  Mr. GALLEGLY. Madam Speaker, I wish to make the following disclosure 
in accordance with the Republican Earmark Transparency Standards 
requiring members to place a statement in the Congressional Record 
prior to a floor vote on a bill that includes an earmark that I have 
requested.
  H.R. 2522, a bill to raise the ceiling on the Federal share of the 
cost of the Calleguas Municipal Water District Recycling Project, and 
for other purposes, which I introduced on May 20, 2009, contains one 
earmark as defined under House Rule XXI, clause 9. The earmark 
contained in H.R. 2522 would authorize additional appropriations for a 
project under Title XVI of Public Law 104-266, the Reclamation 
Recycling and Water Conservation Act of 1996.
  The project authorized under H.R. 2522 would authorize an additional 
$40 million in federal spending authority, not to exceed 25 percent of 
the total project cost, to allow the Calleguas Municipal Water District 
to fully

complete their Salinity Management Pipeline, which will generate an 
additional 27,000 acre feet per year of groundwater and facilitate the 
use of an additional 16,000 acre feet per year of recycled water in the 
area.
  Consistent with the Republican Leadership's policy on earmarks, I 
hereby certify that to the best of my knowledge this request (1) is not 
directed to an entity or program that will be named after a sitting 
Member of Congress; (2) is not intended to be used by an entity to 
secure funds for other entities unless the use of funding is consistent 
with the specified purpose of the earmark; and (3) meets or exceeds all 
statutory requirements for matching funds where applicable.

                          ____________________
