[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 154 (2008), Part 12] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 17391] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]EARMARK DECLARATION ______ HON. ANDER CRENSHAW of florida in the house of representatives Tuesday, July 29, 2008 Mr. CRENSHAW. Madam Speaker, I rise today to submit documentation consistent with the new Republican Earmark Standards. Requesting Member: Congressman Ander Crenshaw. Bill Number: H.R. 6599--Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies. Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2009. Account: Military Construction, Navy. Legal Name of Receiving Entity: Naval Station Mayport. Address of Receiving Entity: Mayport, Florida. Description of Request: I have secured $3,530,000 in funding in H.R. 6599 in the Military Construction, Navy account for an Aircraft Refueling project at Naval Station Mayport, Florida. This project will construct a two (2) outlet, 300gpm/outlet aircraft direct fueling system to include concrete foundations and slab on grade, 15,000 gallon double wall steel tanks (to be relocated from the existing truck fill stand), concrete containment berms, double walled underground piping, valves, pumps, pressure gauges, filter separators, leak detection monitors for piping and tanks, float switches, double wall steel product recovery tank, emergency shut off valves, fuel quality monitors, pipe vents, fire protection, pressure indicating transmitter and water drainoff system. It would also construct underground double walled fuel transfer line from bulk storage to the direct fueling facility. The project will properly close, by abandoning in place, the existing underground fuel transfer line from the bulk storage to the existing truck fill stand. Closure will include pigging/ purging the lines, grout injection of ends, core boring and soil sampling along the fuel transfer line, and submission of a Florida Department of Environmental Protection Closure Assessment Report. In addition, this project will construct a 150 m2, single story building on a concrete slab on grade and concrete footings. The building and fuel lab will include vinyl floor tile, steel stud/gypsum wallboard walls, hollow core interior steel doors, solid core exterior steel doors, double glazed single hung windows, modified bitumen roofing, interior plumbing, electrical power and lighting wiring, data/ communication wiring, fluorescent lighting fixtures, ceramic bathroom tile, HVAC system/distribution/controls and site utilities (electric, water, sanitary, fiber optic communication/data). The project demolishes building 18 (32 m2) and the truck fill stand facility 142 (400 GM). Naval Station Mayport is a strategic base for the Navy. This project was programmed to receive funding in Fiscal Year 2012 but was identified by the base commander as the highest unfunded priority in Fiscal Year 2009. Military Construction projects are always 100 percent funded by the U.S. Federal Government so there is no opportunity for matching funds. ____________________
