Senator Pangelinan Implores Congresswoman to Participate in DEIS Review

Senator Pangelinan Implores Congresswoman to Participate in DEIS Review

Guam - Senator Ben Pangelinan has sent a letter to congresswoman Madeline Bordallo imploring her "participation in the review and analysis of the draft environmental impact statement."

Specifically Senator Pangelinan wants to draw the congresswoman's attention to the testimony submitted by the guam fisherman's co-op. The fisherman's co-op is concerned with the proposed dredging of the Apra harbor whereby the dredged materials which may contain contaminants will be dumped elsewhere in the ocean. The fisherman's co-op is asking that the "no action" alternative be selected as the establishment of an ocean dredged material disposal site in the waters of Guam will greatly affect the pristine condition of these waters.
