House Passes Energy And
Water Appropriations
The House of Representatives
today passed, 332 to 81 legislation
containing millions of federal dol-
lars for W. Va. water projects includ-
ing $3.5 start-up funds for the south-
ern W. Va. pilot water project, ac-
cording to U. S. Rep. Nick Rahall (D-
W.Va.).
The Energy and Water Appro-
priations bill also includes $500,000
for feasibility studies ofdevelopment
along Virginia Point, the Parkers-
burg and Vienna, and Point Pleas-
ant riverfronts, as well as an addi-
tional $1 million to assail the trash
problem at Bluestone Dam.
This funding is essential to our
continued flood control efforts, navi-
gation needs, and water resource
management," said Rahall. aMore-
over, it contains needed dollars for a
number of initiatives I have worked
on that will benefit the quality of life
and environment of southern W.Va.
Rahall's pilot water project would
direct the U. S. Army Corps of Engi-
neers to assist local communities in
the design and construction of water
treatment and water supply facili-
ties. Rahall created the project last
year, as part of the Water Resources
Development Act, to serve the 16
counties of the Third Congressional
District. That legislation was signed
into law by President Bush in Oct.
1992.
Commentingon the funding added
to study Virginia Point in Wayne
County Rahall added, "Riverfront
development is key to unlocking the
economic development potential
along the Big Sandy and Ohio Riv-
ers. We have made some substantial
progress. Now we can continue to
move forward."
The Energy and Water Appro-
priations bill also provides $45.6
million for the Levisa and Tug Forks
and Upper Cumberland River proj-
act in W. Va., Ky. and Va.; $22 mil-
lion for the Robert C. Byrd Locks
and Dams; and $56.6 million for the
Winfield's Lock and Dam.
Corps of Engineers general inves-
tigations and planning projects were
included as well: Oceana, received
$400,000 for investigations; Island
Creek at Logan received $225,000
for planning; KanaWha River Basin
Comprehensive received $324,000
for investigations; and Kanawha
River Navigation received $309,000
for investigations.
Rahall added that the bill also
includes the Corps of Engineers'
Operations and Maintenance proj.
ects for the coming fiscal year: Beech
Fork Lake - $935,000; Bluestone
Lake - $3.6 million; Burnsville Lake
$1.4 million; East Lynn Lake -
$946,000; Elk River Harbor -
$18,000; Elkins. $31,000; Kanawha
River Locks and Dams - $11.5 rail.
lion; R. D. Bailey Lake - $1.2 million;
Stonewall Jackson - $938,000;
Summersville Lake. $1.2 million;
Sutton Lake - $2.8 million; Tygart
Lake - $1.4 million.
The legislation, an agreement
between the Senate and House, in
which Senator Robert C. Byrd was
instrumental in assisting with fund-
ing will now go to the President to be
signed into law.
