In addition, the Water Programs Division supports and actively participates in the Guam Water Planning Committee , which is chaired by the Guam EPA Administrator. The staff ensures that any permitted activities employ adequate environmental protection, through enforcement of or voluntary compliance with established statutes, regulations, standards, and use of direct enforcement action against polluters as necessary to reinforce compliance and authority of the Agency. The Division's mission and organization are supported by the Guam Hydrogeologist , Mr. H. Victor Wuerch. The authority for each program to develop regulations to protect water resources is provided by a combination of local and federal statutes. The Division has envisioned, as we enter the 21st Century, that pollution prevention is among the most effective tools to use in maintaining water resources to meet the needs and aspirations of present and future generations.
