EPA reports that funds will be needed to upgrade the Agingan and Sadog Tasi wastewater treatment plants ``as a result of damage inflicted by Typhoon Yutu,'' and for lift stations and backup generators that were ``damaged by flooding and high winds.'' EPA says these projects cost $14 million. My amendment takes into account funding already in the base bill, however, and asks only for an increase of $8.8 million. Again, this requested increase is based on EPA's estimates only available after passage of H.R. 268, the bill on which H.R. 2157 is based. Madam Chair, I ask my colleagues for their support of my amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
