| http://sablan.house.gov/press-release/over-10-years-close-10-million-fuds-clean | Over 10 years, close to $10 million for FUDS clean-up | 2014-08-22 | 2014 | 2014-08 | Independent | Senate | MP | Gregorio Sablan | S001177 | sablan.house.gov | legacy | Over 10 years, close to $10 million for FUDS clean-up Aug 22, 2014 The Army Corps of Engineers has spent $9.5 million over the last ten years to clean up hazardous waste left behind by the U.S. military in the Northern Mariana Islands. Work on three of the formerly used defense sites — I’Denni, Tanapag Village PCB, and Kagman Airfield — is finished. There are nine remaining FUDS properties that have been identified, all on the island of Saipan: Marpi Point Field, Naftan Bomb Storage, Naftan Ordnance Disposal, North Field, Ordnance Plan, Talofofo Hospital Dump Site, Tanapag Fuel Farm, Koblerville Naval Supply Center, and American Memorial Park. Although the U.S. does the work, the Commonwealth’s Bureau of Environmental and Coastal Quality is responsible for oversight. Our local community also has a role in identifying problem areas and pressing for action, as the Tanapag Action Group did so effectively in the 1990s to force a clean-up of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination in Tanapag. And in Congress, every year, I support funding the FUDS program to assure that the work can continue in the Northern Marianas until all hazardous wastes are removed. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
