§ 33201. Legislative Finding and Intent.
Solid Waste Management Facilities (>SWMF=) have byproducts that if
exposed repeatedly, or consumed in finite amount, can be detrimental to
good health. The community where the SWMF is processing municipal
solid waste should be compensated for accepting a facility (incinerator,
landfill, WTEF, combustion, plasma, processing) which is essential for the
Islands= health and welfare, but inherently exposes that village with not only
noxious and eyesore surroundings, but perhaps imposes respiratory disease,
infection disorders, cancer ailments and other disorders more than the
expected distribution for such illnesses. It is therefore imperative that the
monitoring of people, since the facilities and the environment are being
monitored already by the Guam Environmental Protection Agency
(>GEPA=) and the Department of Public Health and Social Services
(>DPHSS=), be established and also logically that we should compensate
villages.
COL120106
Recognizing the critical need to establish a Municipal SWMF, it is the
intent of the Guam Legislature to provide for the monitoring and
compensation of the environmental impact of the Municipal SWMF on the
health and welfare of residents in the neighborhood.
