Guam EPA's initial staff numbered around 40, and today staffing levels are not much higher. Even though the Agency has faced budgetary constraints and staffing shortages in recent years, it remains committed to protecting Guam's environment for current and future generations. To these ends, it is the purpose of this Act to provide a united, integrated, and comprehensive island-wide program of environmental protection and to provide a framework to fulfill that task. Former Guam EPA Planner Mike Gawel samples a fish kill at Sleepy Lagoon in 1975 caused by aerial application of the pesticide Malathion. Combatting Guam's air pollution problems has been part of Guam EPA's mandate since its creation.
