District Court Chief Judge Frances Tydingco-Gatewood issued yet another order in the Ordot consent decree case today after concerns were raised by federal receiver Gershman, Brickner & Bratton.  Apparently the receiver got wind of efforts to frustrate compliance with the consent decree.  
 
According to a special report the receiver filed in the District Court today, GBB states that they've received information from staff and officials at the Guam Environmental Protection Agency that there is "Pressure to give equal or greater pressure to other applications", which means less attention on the Layon landfill application.
 
The receiver also informed the court that the alleged pressure also includes a threat to terminate GEPA administrator Lorilee Crisostomo.
 
GBB expressed concerns to the court that this could threaten compliance with the consent decree.  Chief Judge Tydingco-Gatewood meanwhile in her order this afternoon reiterated the rights of the receiver to have full access to documents and records in the government's custody.
She ordered the government provide all copies of written communications between GEPA staff members, board members, officials of the government, and any other messages relating to the consent decree and the Layon landfill permit application.
 
Specifically the government must turn over all communication between last October and this June.
 
The judge also prohibited government employees from destroying, altering or tampering with any of the communication.
 
GEPA's Crisostomo says told KUAM News she was unaware of any threats to terminate her.
