Clerk ofthe Court
U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware
J. Caleb Boggs Federal Building
844 N. King Street
Wilmington, DE. 19801
SUBJECT: Home Depot Consent Decree and Penalty — Violations to the Clean Water
Act — Public Comment and Proposal for Use of Award for the Troostwood
Neighborhood, Kansas City, Missouri Activities
TO: Clerk ofthe Court:
We request that the following submission be forwarded to the presiding judge for
consideration for allocation of a pending penalty payment by Home Depot.
The Troostwood Neighborhood is a low and moderate income, mixed race neighborhood
in central Kansas City, Missouri. We have worked hard over the years to preserve this
historic American bungalow neighborhood, but in these times there is much more to do.
In consideration of the $1.3 million penalty against Home Depot for violations of
provisions of the Clean Water Act we request that $300,000 be awarded to the
Troostwood Neighborhood. These funds will be used for stormwater rim-off reduction,
energy conservation, and old tree removal/new tree planting programs. The ftmds will be
administered by the local, nonprofit housing agency and made available to all
homeowners in the neighborhood.
Our request is to make these iimds work in the area of violation for the people who need
assistance. If approved, we will work directly with the local Home Depot outlet on a debt
card basis and 10% for administrative costs, and provide a 11.111, auditable report back to
the Court for its review.
Thank you in advance for considering this request.
Sincerely,

(Léuart Bulégton, Pres`der1t wg] `dgq mw,
