A draft report for Agent Orange sampling and analysis
conducted in November 2018 is still being finalized by the Region 9 division of
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, according to Nick Lee, Guam
Environmental Protection Agency spokesman.
Once this is completed, GEPA will review and either revise
or release to the public, Lee added.
GEPA and USEPA collected samples from five sample subsites
in areas that were believed to have been exposed to Agent Orange, according to
a November 2018 news release.
"An area off of NCS road, along Route 3 and in the
vicinity of Potts Junction and a pipe line tie-in located in Tiyan were among
the first areas to be sampled. USEPA’s on-scene coordinator, Harry L. Allen,
and USEPA Superfund Technical Assistance and Response Team contractors from
Weston Solutions Inc. performed the sampling," the release stated.
