    CHAPTER II Planning Area Profile for Hazard Mitigation Analysis 24 Territory of American Samoa Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan A U.S. Territory since 1900, American Samoa is located in the central South Pacific Ocean, 2,300 miles south-southwest of Hawaii and 1,600 miles east-northeast of New Zealand. American Samoa has a total land area of approximately 76 square miles and consists of a group of five volcanic islands and two atolls (Rose Atoll and Swains Island). The five volcanic islands, Tutuila, Aunu’u, Ofu, Olosega, and Ta’u, are the major inhabited islands. Tutuila is the largest island and the center of government. Ofu, Olosega, and Ta’u, collectively are referred to as the Manu’a Islands. Figure 1 Base Map of American Samoa depicts all of the islands of American Samoa. Figure 1. Base Map of American Samoa. The five volcanic islands, Tutuila, Aunu’u, Ofu, Olosega, and Ta’u, are the inhabited islands. At 53 square miles, Tutuila is the largest and oldest of the islands, and is the center of government and business. It is a long, narrow island lying SW-NE, is just over 20 miles in length, and ranges from 1 to 2 miles wide in the eastern half, and from 2 to 5 miles wide in the western half. Home to 95 percent of the territory’s 55,000 residents, Tutuila is the historic capitol (Pago Pago), the seat of American Samoa’s legislature and judiciary (Fagatogo), as well as the office of the Governor. Tutuila is often divided into 3 regions: the eastern district, the western district and Manu’a district.

  • United States Department of the Interior Geological Survey the October 28, 1979, Landsliding on Tutuila, American Samoa by Jane
    United States Department of the Interior Geological Survey The October 28, 1979, Landsliding On Tutuila, American Samoa by Jane M. Buchanan-Banks Open-File Report 81-81 This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with U. S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature The October 28, 1979, Landsliding on Tutuila, American Samoa Abstract In an apparently short time interval in the early morning of October 28, 1979, more than 70 landslides occurred on Tutuila Island, American Samoa. They were confined to the western end of the island from Asili on the south shore to Massacre Bay on the north. One of the landslides in Seetaga caused four fatalities; the others caused property damage and blocked the main transportation route on the west end of the island. Although there were rumors of an earthquake immediately preceding the landsliding, an examination of the seismograph from Apia Observatory, Western Samoa, for the morning of October 28 shows no record of an earth­ quake. Heavy rains during the preceding few days coupled with the general­ ly steep slopes and deeply weathered geologic materials appear to have caused the slope failures. There is abundant evidence both visually and on aerial photographs taken in 1941 and 1960 that landslides are frequent occurrences in the effected area. It is recommended that an analysis be made of the regional slope stability relative to current and proposed land use practices. Such an analysis would include: 1) air photos taken at a scale of 1:24,000 for comparison with those taken previously to document areas of landsliding; 2) a study of the vegetative cover; 3) a slope map; and 4) a detailed geological and structural map.

  • Final Environmental Asessment Proposed Ice House and Boat
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE Pacific Islands Regional Office 1845 Wasp Blvd. Bldg.176 Honolulu, Hawaii 96818 (808) 725-5000 • Fax (808) 725-5215 Finding of No Significant Impact Proposed Ice House and Boat Ramp, Pago Pago Harbor, to Support Recovery of the American Samoa Bottomfish Fishery (RIN 0648-XP001) September 12, 2019 Introduction The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) prepared this Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) according to the following guidance: x National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Administrative Order (NAO) 216-6A (April 22, 2016) – Compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, Executive Orders 12114 (Environmental Effects Abroad of Major Federal Actions), 11988 and 13690 (Floodplain Management), and 11990 (Protection of Wetlands); and its associated Companion Manual (January 13, 2017); and x Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) significance criteria at 40 CFR 1508.27(b). Proposed Action NMFS proposes to release congressionally appropriated fishery disaster relief funds to the AS Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources (DMWR). Once approved for release, DMWR will use the funds to build a small concrete ice house at its administrative and workstation adjacent to Pago Pago Harbor at Fagatogo and a small boat ramp at the southwestern-most terminus of Pago Pago Harbor. The projects are intended to support recovery of the American Samoa bottomfish fishery, which experienced a fishery disaster after the 2009 Tsunami. The boat ramp would relieve boat traffic congestion in the area and fishermen would experience improved boat launching and return conditions due to a modernized ramp design.
