Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan. The Senate easily passed its version of the bill in May by a vote of 83-14. Both bills accelerate environmental reviews and allow more money from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund to be spent on harbor improvements, but the House version of the bill ramps up spending from the fund more slowly. The legislation would affect virtually every facet of America's waterways and authorizes or reauthorizes dozens of projects, though Congress still has to pass separate bills appropriating money for them. Among them: —Dredging and widening the Sabine-Neches Waterway, billed as ''America's Energy Gateway'' because the nearly 80-mile waterway services many oil and natural gas refineries in Texas and Louisiana. —$954 million for environmental restoration along the Louisiana coast. —Expanding the Port of Savannah. Georgia officials have long lobbied for federal backing to improve one of the country's fastest growing ports; the bills designate up to $461 million for that purpose. —Flood diversion for the flood-prone Red River Valley region of North Dakota and parts of Minnesota. The bills authorize spending of about $800 million to relieve flooding in a region that includes the cities of Fargo, N.D., and Moorhead, Minn. The region has suffered major floods in four of the past five years. —Up to $43 million to reduce hurricane and storm damage risks along the San Clemente, Calif., shoreline. The bills would shelve about $12 billion in old, inactive projects that had been approved in water resources bills prior to 2007. Box 605, Red Bluff, Calif., 96080.

San Diego sued over stinky sea lion waste SAN DIEGO (AP) — San Diego's La Jolla Cove stinks, and the culprit is sea lion poop. A lawsuit filed last week by La Valencia Hotel and George's at the Cove says the stench is driving away customers and poses a health risk. Their lawsuit, filed in San Diego County Superior Court, argues that the city hasn't done enough to deal with the problem. Restaurant owner George Hauer told U-T San Diego that the city has assured him for two years that it was going to deal with the problem but hasn't come up with any solid plan. We consider this to be a potential health hazard and a serious public nuisance, and we have faced the resulting financial hard- Simple Cremations Setting it straight –––––––– It is the policy of the Daily News to correct as quickly as possible all errors in fact that have been published in the newspaper.

Staff talks continued until Congress left for its year-end break and will resume in January. Lawmakers have been drawn to the big investment in infrastructure sketched out in both bills — and the promise of jobs that entails. Business groups, led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, have lobbied members to support the bills, saying they'll help keep American businesses competitive. The bills try to address perceptions of years past that water project legislation was loaded with favors inserted by key lawmakers for their home districts and states. This time, both bills eliminate billions of dollars in dormant and duplicative projects. Shuster stressed that this bill contains no such ''earmarks.'' Those reforms still aren't enough for some conservative groups that pressed lawmakers to oppose the bills, saying they are reform in name only and don't do enough to cut spending. ''Even before the predictable increase in authorizations as this bill goes through the process, this legislation would only shave a few billion dollars off the backlog,'' Heritage Action and other groups wrote House members. Tea party sympathizers in the House largely brushed off conservative critics, buying into the idea that this water projects bill represents both reform and needed investment. To wavering Republicans, Schuster cited Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, which directs Congress to establish roads and regulate interstate commerce. For their part, Democrats breezed past environmental groups concerned about language that speeds up the environmental review process for projects. 9A starting at $ .00 929 5530 Mountain View Drive, Redding CA 96033.

The city can't comment specifically about the lawsuit, said Alex Roth, a spokesman for interim Mayor Todd Gloria. ''We are well aware this is a problem impacting businesses and quality of life in La Jolla,'' Roth said. ''We are actively working toward a solution. No options are off the table.'' Last year, businesses in the same area complained that guano from pelicans, gulls and other birds was raising a stink. The city eventually hired a company to spray a bacterial solution to dissolve the waste. However, federal and state laws ban harassing, capturing or killing sea lions and birds at the cove.
