Guam - KUAM News has
discovered a fence has been erected around an illegal dump in Yigo. Back in August
the Guam Environmental Protection Agency issued a notice of violation to Yigo
resident Tomas Taitano after a solid waste complaint was made for illegal dumping
on the property just off the Back
Road to Andersen Air Force Base.
When inspectors responded back in June, they observed burning
paper, aluminum cans, plastics, metals, and other materials prompting the
regulatory agency to issue the NOV along with an administrative penalty order
of $1,000, but Taitano has yet to respond.
GEPA spokesperson Tammy Jo Anderson Taft says the NOV includes a
corrective action plan, but she is unsure if building the fence was part of
that plan.
