                          EARMARK DECLARATION

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. TODD RUSSELL PLATTS

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 21, 2009

  Mr. PLATTS. Madam Speaker, I rise to announce the projects that I 
have requested for my Congressional District within the Fiscal Year 
2010 Appropriations bills. My office is regularly contacted by non-
profit and other organizations within the 19th Congressional District, 
as well as state and local government entities, to request federal 
funding as part of the eleven annual appropriations bills. This year 
sixty-five funding requests were submitted to my office and were 
reviewed by a ten member advisory board comprised of community leaders 
throughout the 19th District. The breakdown of members from the three 
counties was done on an approximate per capita basis.
  Based on the recommendations of the board, the following are domestic 
projects which will be forwarded to the House Appropriations Committee 
for consideration. If more than five requests were received for a 
particular appropriations bill, rankings by the board were used to 
reduce the number of requests to five or--in the event of a tie--six.
  All of the projects listed below will compete against all of the 
other projects submitted by Members of Congress for consideration by 
the Appropriations Committee. Their appearance on this list does not 
guarantee that they will receive funding, nor that any funding they 
receive will be in the amount requested.
  Labor-Health-Education Appropriations Bill:
  Goodling Advanced Skills Center: The William F. Goodling Regional 
Advanced Skills Learning Center is a non-profit 501(c)(3) training 
center providing industry-led training to incumbent workers, dislocated 
workers, and new entrants into the workforce. Training is also provided 
to high school seniors. The Advanced Skills Learning Center would use 
this funding to create the Goodling Innovation and New Technology 
(GIANT) Center. The GIANT Center will help private industry leverage 
their idle intellectual properties by matching them with existing 
companies and start-up businesses in need of those technologies, 
thereby serving as the link between technology excess and technology 
success. Additionally, funding would be used for startup costs of this 
initiative, allowing the GIANT Center to develop a resource network in 
the region, and assist with administrative costs, staffing needs, and 
marketing initiatives. This is a good use of taxpayer funds because, 
due to the increasingly competitive nature of the global economy, firms 
must innovate in order to survive by developing new technologies, 
products, and processes. The GIANT Center would play a critical role in 
working with companies, allowing them to remain competitive. ($300,000)
  William F. Goodling Regional Advanced Skills Center, 2101 
Pennsylvania Avenue, York, PA 17404.
  Hanover Hospital: Hanover Hospital would use this funding to convert 
all paper records at the hospital to an electronic medical record 
system. This is a good use of taxpayer dollars because the use of such 
records is proven to improve clinical outcomes and enables health 
systems to better define, measure, monitor, and reward quality care. 
Electronic medical records create efficiencies for patients, 
physicians, and the hospital. ($1 million)
  Hanover Hospital, 300 Highland Avenue, Hanover, PA 17331.
  Holy Spirit Hospital: Holy Spirit Hospital would use this funding to 
provide improved outpatient mental health services for older adults 
within their Seniors' Behavioral Health Services Outreach Program. 
Funding would be used to partially support the salary costs of trained 
psychotherapists providing education and support services and 
registered nurses providing medical support in lieu of the 
psychiatrist. In addition, funding would be used to produce educational 
materials specific to mental health issues concerning older adults. 
This is a good use of taxpayer funds because current barriers to mental 
health treatment remain significant, and the mental health needs of 
older adults in the Cumberland, York and Adams County areas remain 
largely unmet. ($100,000)
  Holy Spirit Hospital, 503 North 21st Street, Camp Hill, PA 17011
  Memorial Hospital: Memorial Hospital would use this funding to 
purchase a new Digital Mammography Unit for the Memorial Hospital 
Breast Center. The unit would allow for high quality digital breast 
images to provide earlier diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. 
This is a good use of taxpayer funds because breast cancer continues to 
be on the rise in York County and across the nation. Early detection 
through mammography is key to early treatment and survival of women 
diagnosed. ($100,000)
  Memorial Hospital, 325 Belmont Street, York, PA 17403.
  WellSpan Health: WellSpan Health would use this funding to purchase a 
remote monitoring system for the York Hospital Emergency Transitional 
Care Unit, allowing physicians to monitor patients in a distant 
location without physically leaving the main Emergency Department. This 
is a good use of taxpayer funds because the remote monitoring system 
would create remote access using video/audio conferencing technology so 
that a physician could monitor multiple patients at one time. In 
addition, while caring for a patient in the main emergency department, 
the physician could answer questions and communicate with patients and 
families who are waiting in the Emergency Transitional Care Unit, 
eliminating the constant disruption of walking back and forth. 
($99,500)
  WellSpan Health, 912 South George Street, York, PA 17403.
  York College of Pennsylvania: York College of Pennsylvania is a 
private, four-year institution of higher education serving over 5,600 
students. This is a good use of taxpayer funds because York College 
would use this funding to expand their existing Nursing Department. 
Specifically, funds would be used to refurbish laboratories and 
purchase equipment related to the project. This is a good use of 
taxpayer funds because York College operates one of the largest 
bachelorette nursing programs in the region. York College's ability to 
continue providing a pool of highly educated and trained nursing 
graduates helps fill the critical demand for nurses, both locally and 
nationally. ($500,000)
  York College of Pennsylvania, 441 Country Club Road, York, PA 17403.
  Homeland Security Appropriations Bill:
  Carroll Valley Borough: Carroll Valley Borough of Pennsylvania is 
located in Adams County and is a self-governing incorporated borough. 
Carroll Valley would use this funding to create a Southwest Adams 
Regional Fleet Fueling Station for First Responders. This above-ground 
fuel tank system would be accessible to regional first responders on a 
24 hour basis to refuel their vehicles. This is a good use of taxpayer 
funds because it would assist the Fairfield Regional Emergency 
Management Agency (FREMA) in providing resources to first responders 
during a declared disaster/emergency. ($80,700)
  Carroll Valley Borough, 5685 Fairfield Road, Fairfield, PA 17320.
  Cumberland County Government: Cumberland County would use this 
funding to construct a new facility for the Department of Public 
Safety, the Office of Emergency Preparedness (including the Emergency 
Operations Center), and the 911 Public Safety Answering Point. This is 
a good use of taxpayer funds because the County is a critical regional 
player in emergency planning and response and this facility would 
assist Cumberland County in executing these responsibilities. ($1 
million)
  Cumberland County Government, 1 Courthouse Square, Room 200, 
Carlisle, PA 17013.
  Agriculture Appropriations Bill:
  Nutricore Northeast: NutriCore Northeast, a not-for-profit alliance 
of corporations, industry organizations, research universities, and 
municipal communities, was established in 2003 as the National Center 
of Excellence in Food and Nutrition Research. This alliance funds 
nutrition research programs and coordinates services to both industry 
and government agencies to maximize their investments in food or 
nutrition research and development. NutriCore would use these funds for 
research projects as well as staffing and overhead costs. This is a 
good use of taxpayer funds because food manufacturing and food safety 
are critical components in our national economy and society. NutriCore 
NorthEast is directly supporting the development of healthier foods, 
and providing technological and scientific resources to farmers and 
food processors that were previously unavailable to them. ($500,000)
  NutriCore NorthEast, 144 Roosevelt Avenue, York, PA 17401.
  Penn State University--Improved Dairy Management Practices: Penn 
State is a public university. Some of the most important challenges 
facing the dairy industry today lie in the areas of nutrient and 
emission management. Penn State faculty will use this funding to 
research nutrient management through cow nutrition modification and the 
impacts of emission from dairy operations. In addition, funding will be 
used to develop new technologies to address problems associated with 
dairy production in Pennsylvania in an effort to improve

[[Page 10232]]

water quality, lower impacts of air emissions, and use energy more 
efficiently. This is a good use of taxpayer funds because the sale of 
dairy products accounts for nearly half the farm gate value of 
Pennsylvania's agricultural income. The profitability of Pennsylvania 
dairy farms is inextricably tied to management decisions that are being 
made by farmers. ($550,000)
  Penn State University, 117 Old Main, University Park, PA 16802.
  Penn State University--Integrated Bioenergy Farm: Penn State would 
use this funding to create an Integrated Bioenergy Farm. Bioenergy 
crops would be integrated into food production cropping systems 
relevant to the Northeast. Initially six systems would be implemented 
at field-scale to demonstrate the opportunities and challenges 
associated with reducing fossil energy dependence and greenhouse gas 
production of farming systems. This is a good use of taxpayer funds 
because Bioenergy crops harvested from these fields would be converted 
into biodiesel at Penn State's student run biodiesel pilot plant, 
ethanol (including cellulosic) at a nearby Bioenergy International 
pilot plant, or pelletized at the Penn State Energy Institute. ($1 
million)
  Penn State University, 117 Old Main, University Park, PA 16802.
  Penn State University--Milk Safety Program: Penn State would use this 
funding to identify issues in milk and dairy products safety and seek 
interventions that can be transferred to producers, processors, 
distributors, and retailers to continue to improve consumer confidence 
in the quality of their food supply. This is a good use of taxpayer 
funds because dairy is the single largest economic component of the 
Pennsylvania agricultural portfolio. ($800,000)

      Penn State University, 117 Old Main, University Park, 16802.

  Penn State University--Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resources: 
Penn State University would use this funding to create a new 
collaborative research and education program that will help diverse 
farm operations better adopt more sustainable farming practices. 
Investment in this special grant would increase field research and 
demonstration to increase the exposure of farm advisors and farmers to 
sustainable cropping system practices. Practices to be further 
investigated include: crop species and cultivars for inclusion in crop 
rotations that improve the performance of sustainable and organic 
cropping systems, especially for the Northeast; fine-tuning of 
management guidelines for mechanical control of cover crops and weeds 
in conservation and no-tillage systems to reduce or eliminate 
herbicides; factors that better promote conservation of biological 
control organisms and beneficial soil microorganisms for weed seed 
predation and management of other pests; and practices that increase 
soil organic matter. This is a good use of taxpayer funds because the 
demand for increased farmer understanding and adoption of sustainable 
farming practices continues to be a high priority in the agricultural 
community. ($400,000)
  Penn State University, 117 Old Main, University Park, PA 16802.
  Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations Bill:
  Adams County Department of Emergency Services: Adams County 
Department of Emergency Services is the Public Safety Answering Point 
for Adams County. The entity provides Public Safety Communications to 
all Emergency Response Agencies within Adams County. Adams County would 
use this funding to develop a new, standards based wireless 
communication system that will operate in the 700 MHz and 800 MHz 
bands. This is a good use of taxpayer funds because the system would be 
capable of supporting all public safety operations in the County and 
would allow for increased interoperability. ($200,000)
  Adams County Department of Emergency Services, 230 Greenamyer Lane, 
Gettysburg, PA 17321.
  Carlisle Borough: Carlisle Borough is a municipal government located 
in Cumberland County. Carlisle Borough would use this funding to 
acquire between 25 and 50 surveillance cameras to be installed in 
public areas in downtown Carlisle. The cameras would be operated 
remotely at the Carlisle Police Department. Cameras would be of a 
mobile, wireless variety so that they can be relocated if necessary. 
This is a good use of taxpayer funds because Carlisle has experienced 
an increase in crime, specifically robberies, which pose a public 
safety threat. The project is expected to deter crime and assist in the 
apprehension of suspects. ($200,000)
  Carlisle Borough, 53 West South Street, Carlisle, PA 17013.
  Cumberland County Government: Cumberland County would use this 
funding to relocate and replace communications infrastructure that is 
essential to the operation of the Department of Public Safety, the 
Office of Emergency Preparedness (including the Emergency Operations 
Center), and the 911 Public Safety Answering Point. This is a good use 
of taxpayer funds because the County is a critical regional player in 
emergency planning and response and this facility would assist 
Cumberland County in executing these responsibilities. ($200,000)
  Cumberland County Government, 1 Courthouse Square, Room 200, 
Carlisle, PA 17013.
  Survivors, Inc: Survivors, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit 
organization which supports individuals who experience domestic 
violence or sexual assault. Survivors, Inc. provides a 24-hour crisis 
counseling hotline, shelter services, transitional housing, supportive 
counseling, support groups, and legal advocacy for individuals affected 
by domestic violence or sexual assault. Survivors, Inc. would use this 
funding to partially fund staff salaries, on-call stipends, and 
expenses for hotline provision. This is a good use of taxpayer funds 
because safety is one of the most essential needs to both individuals 
and society. When an individual is not safe in their own home they must 
have resources available to them to meet their needs. ($25,000)
  Survivors, Inc., 233 West High Street, Gettysburg, PA 17325.
  York County Children's Advocacy Center: The York County Children's 
Advocacy Center is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that works 
to reduce the trauma of child abuse investigations, foster professional 
collaboration and cooperation, and promote education and advocacy 
regarding the prevention of child abuse within the community. The York 
County Children's Advocacy Center would use this funding to establish 
the Sexual Assault Forensic Examiners (SAFE) Team. SAFE Team members 
are registered nurses who have advanced education and clinical 
preparation in forensic examination of sexual assault victims. The SAFE 
Team would provide compassionate care to victims of child abuse by 
simultaneously gathering evidence of a crime. Funds would be used to 
purchase medical supplies and cover exam costs. This is a good use of 
taxpayer funds because York County ranks as the third highest county in 
our Commonwealth for substantiated cases of child abuse. Currently, 
less than 10% of the children involved in substantiated cases receive a 
forensic medical exam. ($60,000)
  York County Children's Advocacy Center, 28 South Queen Street, York, 
PA 17403.
  Interior, Environment Appropriations Bill:
  Adams County Historical Society: Adams County Historical Society is a 
private, non-profit organization that identifies, preserves, and tells 
the stories of people, organizations, businesses, and events that have 
shaped Adams County, Pennsylvania. Adams County Historical Society 
would use this funding to restore Schmucker Hall, a building that was 
constructed in 1832 for use as a campus building for the Lutheran 
Theological Seminary at Gettysburg. After its restoration, Schmucker 
Hall will be used as a museum. This is a good use of taxpayer funds 
because Schmucker Hall is nationally significant to United States 
history, and elements of the building are in poor condition. Its 
national significance has been recognized by its listing on the 
National Register of Historic Places. ($400,000)
  Adams County Historical Society, 111 Seminary Ridge, Gettysburg, PA 
17325.
  Carlisle Borough: Carlisle Borough is a municipal government located 
in Cumberland County. Carlisle Borough would use this funding to 
upgrade its wastewater treatment plant facility to achieve the point 
source effluent nutrient cap loads targeted by the Department of 
Environmental Protection's Chesapeake Bay Tributary Strategy. This is a 
good use of taxpayer funds because this project is mandated by the 
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the United 
States Environmental Protection Agency to benefit the Chesapeake Bay. 
($160,000)
  Carlisle Borough, 53 West South Street, Carlisle, PA 17013.
  Gettysburg National Military Park: Gettysburg National Military Park 
is a unit of the National Park Service that preserves and protects the 
resources associated with the Battle of Gettysburg and the Soldiers' 
National Cemetery. Gettysburg National Military Park would use funding 
to develop plans and implement activities which enhance and preserve 
the resources of the historic district. This is a good use of taxpayer 
funds because technical assistance funding for the Gettysburg 
Battlefield Historic District helps accomplish vital historic 
preservation goals of the National Park Service and the Gettysburg 
community. ($100,000)
  Gettysburg National Military Park, 1195 Baltimore Pike, Suite 100, 
Gettysburg, PA 17325.
  York City Sewer Authority: The York City Sewer Authority is a public, 
municipal authority providing wastewater services for residential,

[[Page 10233]]

commercial, and industrial users in an eight- municipality service 
area. The York City Sewer Authority would use this funding to construct 
a new headworks facility, which includes the replacement of the 
building's heating and ventilation system and replacement of the 
activated carbon bed in the building's odor control system. This is a 
good use of taxpayer funds because the combined improvements provide 
the most cost-effective solution for updating infrastructure for the 
authority's residents and businesses. ($160,000)
  York City Sewer Authority, 1701 Blackbridge Road, York, PA 17402.
  York County Government: York County Government would use this funding 
to create a digital Countrywide Geographic Information Systems (GIS) 
database that will contain all of the major water system features in 
York County, along with their location and attributes. This information 
would be standardized throughout the county and could be shared with 
all participating water companies and all levels of government. This is 
a good use of taxpayer funds because the water infrastructure within 
York County continues to rapidly expand to meet the requirements of 
high development pressure, while the need to maintain its aging 
components must be fulfilled. It is critical to know where the water 
infrastructure is located and attributes, such as age, size, and 
capacity of each component. ($125,000)
  York County Government, 28 East Market Street, York, PA 17401.
  Energy, Water Appropriations Bill:
  Renewable Energy (Photovoltaic) Project: If this project is funded, 
PPG Industries would be expected to compete for the contract. PPG 
Industries is a diversified manager that supplies paints, coatings, 
chemicals, optical products, specialty materials, glass, and fiber 
glass. PPG is a publically traded company located in Carlisle, 
Pennsylvania. PPG would use this funding to develop advanced, in-line 
process technologies to fabricate thin-film solar cells. This is a good 
use of taxpayer funds because thin-film technologies could be directly 
integrated into current manufacturing glass processes in order to 
reduce the cost per watt while optimizing the photovoltaic supply chain 
to accelerate the introduction of alternative energy sources in the 
market. ($1 million)
  PPG Industries, 400 Park Drive, Carlisle, PA 17301.
  Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development Appropriations Bill:
  Carlisle Borough: Carlisle Borough is a municipal government located 
in Cumberland County. The Borough of Carlisle would use this funding to 
carry out the recommendations of the Downtown Traffic Safety and 
Mobility Project, a comprehensive traffic study of downtown Carlisle. 
Funding would be used to: reduce High and Hanover Streets from two 
lanes to one lane in each direction; add bicycle lanes to both sides of 
High and Hanover Streets; install camera-activated traffic signals; 
install ``bump-out'' curbs at all intersections; and implement a truck 
mitigation program to reduce truck traffic. This is a good use of 
taxpayer funds because it would improve vehicular and pedestrian 
safety, calm traffic, reduce air and noise pollution, encourage multi-
modal transportation, and revitalize downtown Carlisle. ($1 million)
  Carlisle Borough, 53 West South Street, Carlisle, PA 17013.
  Cumberland County Government: Cumberland County would use funding to 
engineer, design, and replace Craighead Bridge. Craighead Bridge is a 
110 year-old steel thru truss bridge that carries nearly 2000 vehicles 
per day across the Yellow Breeches Creek. This is a good use of 
taxpayer funds because Craighead Bridge has been named one of the worst 
bridges in Pennsylvania and is functionally obsolete, structurally 
deficient, and has an estimated remaining life span of four years. ($1 
million)
  Cumberland County Government, 1 Courthouse Square, Room 200, 
Carlisle, PA 17013.
  Cumberland County Government: Cumberland County would use funding to 
engineer, design, and replace Orr's Bridge. Orr's Bridge is a 52-year-
old pre-stressed non-composite adjacent box beam structure that carries 
over 12,000 vehicles per day across the Conodoguinet Creek. This is a 
good use of taxpayer funds because the current design has been proven 
to accelerate deterioration of the bridge's structural system and in 
turn increases its susceptibility to sudden collapse. ($1 million)
  Cumberland County Government, 1 Courthouse Square, Room 200, 
Carlisle, PA 17013.
  Rabbittransit: The York County Transportation Authority 
(Rabbittransit) is the public transportation provider for York County. 
Rabbittransit would use this funding to relocate its facility to a 
location that could house all 86 buses. The current location can only 
house 65 buses. Due to rapid growth over the past decade, Rabbittransit 
has been providing increasingly valuable service to the community. 
However, because of the growth, Rabbittransit is completely out of 
parking space and the bus facility has become overcrowded. This is a 
good use of taxpayer funds because the project would provide 
Rabbittransit with the ability to continue to meet the needs of the 
community. ($1 million)
  Rabbittransit, 1230 Roosevelt Avenue, York, PA 17404.
  Springettsbury Township: Springettsbury Township is a local 
government located within York County, Pennsylvania. Springettsbury 
Township would use this funding to improve the intersection of Northern 
Way and East Market Street. Specifically, the funding would be used to 
add a westbound right turn lane to Northern Way. This is a good use of 
taxpayer funds because it would provide a safe access point to the 
Township's retail, entertainment, and industrial center, while 
strengthening and enhancing the commercial and industrial redevelopment 
in the area. ($930,732)
  Springettsbury Township, 1501 Mount Zion Road, York, PA 17402.
  West Manheim Township Park and Recreation Board: West Manheim 
Township Park and Recreation Board is a non-profit organization 
dedicated to the planning for and funding of a 113 acre recreation park 
in West Manheim Township in Hanover, Pennsylvania. The Board would use 
this funding to outfit two regulation-sized baseball fields with 
backstops, bases, scoreboards, specialized infield dirt, field drainage 
systems, and fencing. The funding would also be used to purchase two 
sets of restroom facilities. This is a good use of taxpayer funds 
because the facilities in the park will provide a safe outlet for the 
activities of the local youth population. The West Manheim Recreation 
Park will be a premier destination for Southern Pennsylvania and 
Northern Maryland residents. ($300,000)
  West Manheim Township Park and Recreation Board, 15 Waterview Road, 
Hanover, PA 17331.
  The board also approved forwarding the following defense projects to 
the House Appropriations Committee for consideration:
  Defense Appropriations Bill:
  5" Extended Range Insensitive Munition Projectile: This request would 
provide funding to produce Extended Range Insensitive Munition (ERIM). 
ERIM projectile is a promising technology for providing extended range 
and accuracy improvement for the 5" Naval Gun system. This is a good 
use of taxpayer funds because extended range and accuracy will enable 
the Naval warfighter to confidently engage specific point targets in 
both rural and urban terrains. The munition is produced in part by the 
General Dynamics facility located in Red Lion, Pennsylvania. ($4 
million over the President's Budget)
  General Dynamics, 200 East High Street, Red Lion, PA 17356.
  EFSS Precision Extended Range Munition: The EFSS is a close fire 
support, all-weather, quick responsive indirect fire system supporting 
Marine Expeditionary Units. The system is produced in part by the 
General Dynamics facility located in Red Lion, Pennsylvania. This is a 
good use of taxpayer funds because it would provide Research, 
Development, Test & Evaluation dollars to greatly expand the munition 
range for the EFSS system. ($10 million over the President's Budget)
  General Dynamics, 200 East High Street, Red Lion, PA 17356.
  Future Medical Shelter System: This project would fund the production 
of a successor to the current tent-based field hospital that has served 
the Army well but is currently marked for phase-out. This is a good use 
of taxpayer funds because the 21st Century Military Hospital System is 
a mobile medical unit that incorporates superior quality in medical 
care. Gichner Shelter Systems, located in Dallastown, Pennsylvania 
would design and manufacture the specialty ISO containers used in the 
mobile medical units ($9.5 million over the President's Budget)
  Gichner Shelter Systems, 490 East Locust Street, Dallastown, PA 
17313.
  Improved Recovery Vehicle (M88A2): This project would fund the 
remanufacturing and upgrade of the M88A1 to provide safe and effective 
recovery capability for the M1 Abrams Tanks. The Abrams Tanks are 
manufactured in part by the BAE Systems facility located in York, 
Pennsylvania. This is a good use of taxpayer funds because the tanks 
are used extensively in Operations Iraqi Freedom and these upgrades 
will satisfy major deficiencies identified during Operation Desert 
Storm. ($72.8 million above the President's Budget)
  BAE Systems, 1100 Bairs Road, York, PA 17405.
  Paladin Integrated Management (PIM): This project would fund the 
completion of testing and evaluation of the PIM self-propelled howitzer 
and companion ammunition resupply vehicle. These vehicles are 
manufactured in part

[[Page 10234]]

by the BAE Systems facility located in York, Pennsylvania. This is a 
good use of taxpayer funds because the changes to this vehicle will 
reduce the logistics footprint thereby reducing operational and support 
costs. ($9 million above the President's Budget)
  BAE Systems, 1100 Bairs Road, York, PA 17405.
  Military Construction Appropriations Bill:
  York Readiness Center: Funding would be provided to the Pennsylvania 
Army National Guard to provide soldiers with modern facilities in which 
to assemble and train in York, Pennsylvania. It would also allow the 
Guard to close two undersized, inadequate armories now in use. This is 
a good use of taxpayer funds because the facility will incorporate 
sustainable design features to achieve LEED NC 2.2 USGBC Silver 
Certification and improved energy efficiencies. In addition, the new 
site would implement required Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection. ($12.8 
million)
  York Eden Road RC, York, PA.
