Water Planning Commitee was created as a result of President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore's blueprint for fulfilling the original goal of the 1972 Clean Water Act. Guam's WPC meets on a regular basis and has two subcommittees working on restoration of the Northern Guam Lens and Ugum Watershed. The third subcommittee, Environmental Education, was established in early 2000 and assisted in Earth Week celebrations. It serves the community by providing a forum to encourage representatives of all entities involved in water resources to meet on a monthly basis to exchange ideas, and to review and encourage the implementation of local and federal initiatives, policies and agendas that are relevant to Guam's water needs. The WPC is made up of representatives from 14 federal and local organizations and agencies, including Guam EPA, USDA's Natural Resource Conservation Service, Guam Waterworks Authority, Guam Department of Commerce, Guam Department of Agriculture, Guam Bureau of Planning, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at the University of Guam, Water and Environmental Research Institute, Guam Department of Land Management, the U.S. Navy PWC, ComNavMar, U.S. Air Force, Southern Soil and Water Conservation District.
