Guam Resource Recovery Partners is formalizing a letter that will be sent to the Guam Environmental Protection Agency in response to the agency denying their landfill application permit. According to representative Dave Sablan, they plan to submit the letter this week. Guam Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lorilee Crisostomo in a letter outlining why the permit application was denied noted that GRRP did not fill out its application properly and did not submit all of the required documents such as compliance with zoning requirements, among other issues.Worthy of note is that prior to the denial GRRP had requested Crisostomo's recusal, citing that during a town hall meeting in Santa Rita last month, her father, Ray Topasna, disclosed that he owns six lots overlooking the Guatali site and made it clear he would do what he could to prevent the landfill from being built.
