Share

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Delegate Madeleine Z. Bordallo (D-GU) announced yesterday that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded the Guam Environmental Protection Agency $3,100,000 in federal grant assistance. The funds will be used to support GEPA operations for a number of ongoing environmental protection programs throughout the island, including inspections, beach and drinking water safety, permitting, and enforcement.

“These funds will help support the Guam EPA’s efforts to protect our natural resources,” said Bordallo. “GEPA provides critical oversight to ensuring the safety of our drinking water and beaches, educating the community on environmentally-friendly best practices, and providing outreach to appropriately address pollution on Guam. I look forward to these funds supporting the GEPA, and assisting them on their efforts to ensure that our island’s resources are maintained for future generations.” (PR)
