    FACILITY 1 HABSGU-3 (Naval Hospital Guam) HABS GU-3 Fahrenholt Avenue Agana Heights Guam Guam PHOTOGRAPHS WRITTEN HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE DATA HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street NW Washington, DC 20240-0001 HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY FACILITY 1 (NAVAL HOSPITAL GUAM) HABS NO. GU-3 Location: Facility 1 is located in the western block of the 47-acre Naval Hospital Guam complex. The building faces south to Fahrenholt Avenue, which is the main road that traverses the hospital complex. Naval Hospital Guam is situated on a ridge at Agana Heights, an area located approximately 500 m from the shoreline in the middle of the island of Guam. Present Owner and Occupant: Department of the Navy Present Use: Facility 1 contains the primary medical service facilities offered to military members and their dependents. These include family practice, OB-GYN, pediatrics, general surgery, anesthesia, internal medicine, psychiatry, psychology, occupational health and preventive medicine, emergency medicine, dental surgery, urology, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, optometry, acute care, physical therapy, dietician, health promotions and social work services. Significance: Facility 1 played a major support role to other medical facilities in Asia during the Cold War. Injured military personnel from Vietnam were airlifted to Facility 1 for medical treatment. Its final role in the Vietnam War effort consisted of the interim care of about 100,000 refugees from South Vietnam on their way to US under Operation New Life. FACILITY 1 2 (Naval Hospital Guam) HABS No. GU-3 Facility 1 is also significant for its design and engineering which successfully withstood Typhoon Karen in November 1962.

  • Chapter 5. Air Quality
    Guam and CNMI Military Relocation Final EIS (July 2010) CHAPTER 5. AIR QUALITY 5.1 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT This section discusses the affected air quality environment by first providing a definition of air quality and an overview of regulations, definitions of stationary and mobile sources, greenhouse gases, and air quality information specific to Guam (monitoring programs, climate) in Section 5.1.1. The following four sections then provide information on ambient air quality conditions in each of the four regions of influence (ROIs) on Guam – North, Central, Apra Harbor, and South – and sensitive receptors in each ROI (Sections 5.1.2 through 5.1.5). 5.1.1 Definition of Resource Air quality is defined by ambient air concentrations of specific pollutants of concern with respect to the health and welfare of the general public. Air quality can be affected by air pollutants produced by mobile sources, such as vehicular traffic, aircraft, or non-road equipment used for construction activities; and by fixed or immobile facilities, referred to as “stationary sources.” Stationary sources can include combustion and industrial stacks and exhaust vents. Potential air quality effects on Guam would occur from both construction and operational activities associated with implementation of the proposed action and associated alternatives. 5.1.1.1 Regulatory Overview The United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), under the requirements of the 1970 Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended in 1977 and 1990 (Clean Air Act Amendments [CAAA]), has established National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for six contaminants, referred to as criteria pollutants (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 50): carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxides (NO2), ozone (O3) (with nitrogen oxides [NOx] and volatile organic compounds [VOCs] as precursors), particulate matter (PM) (PM10—less than 10 microns in particle diameter; PM2.5—less than 2.5 microns in particle diameter), lead (Pb), and sulfur dioxide (SO2).

  • Guam Draft SEIS
    Executive Summary Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement Guam and Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Military Relocation (2012 Roadmap Adjustments) Prepared for: Joint Guam Program Office Washington, D.C. Prepared by: Naval Facilities Engineering Command Pacific April 2014 This Page Intentionally Left Blank. Guam and CNMI Military Relocation (2012 Roadmap Adjustments) SEIS Draft April 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ES-1 INTRODUCTION In September 2010, the U.S. Department of the Navy (DON) signed a Record of Decision (ROD) (77 Federal Register [FR] 60438-60440, September 30, 2010) regarding the 2010 Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Guam and Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Military Relocation; Relocating Marines from Okinawa, Visiting Aircraft Carrier Berthing, and Army Air and Missile Defense Task Force (DON 2010). The ROD documented the DON’s decision to implement the preferred alternatives identified in the 2010 Final EIS for the main base (cantonment), aviation, and waterfront operations to support relocation of approximately 8,600 Marines and approximately 9,000 dependents from Okinawa to Guam. The ROD deferred a decision on the development of a live-fire training range complex (LFTRC) along Route 15 in the northeastern part of Guam. In the months following issuance of the ROD, the DON formally committed that if the Route 15A area was selected for the LFTRC, the DON would provide for 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week access to Pågat Village and Pågat Cave historical sites, to include the existing trail from Route 15A leading to both (DON 2011, Department of Defense [DoD] 2011). The DON, to meet this commitment, applied a probabilistic methodology to more precisely model the size of the surface danger zone (SDZ) associated with the Multi-Purpose Machine Gun (MPMG) Range, which would be part of the LFTRC.

A description of the affected environment for each resource is provided in Volume 2 (Marine Corps Relocation – Guam). The locations described in Volume 2 include the ROI for the utilities and roadway projects with the chapters presented in the same order as in this volume. 11.2 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES 11.2.1 Approach to Analysis 11.2.1.1 Methodology Utilities Information on recreational resources on Guam and public access was collected through stakeholder meetings in April 2007, Geographic Information System data compiled and reviewed for this Environmental Impact Statement/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement/Overseas Environmental Impact Statement (EIS/OEIS) literature review, personal communications, and limited visitor data that are available for a few specific locations on the island. A comprehensive recreational carrying capacity analysis—assessing the number of individuals who can be supported in a given area within natural resource limits without degrading the natural social, cultural, and economic environment (Global Development Research Center 2008)—was not conducted as part of this EIS/OEIS. Existing baseline data for conducting recreational resource impact analyses are somewhat limited because the Government of Guam, Department of Parks and Recreation does not collect visitor data (e.g. user counts, visitor satisfaction, user conflicts, visitor demands, etc.) for its recreational facilities (Personal obtained through site reconnaissance and communications with natural resource planners at AFB and park rangers at National Park Service.

A comprehensive recreational carrying capacity analysis—assessing the number of individuals who can be supported in a given area within natural resource limits without degrading the natural social, cultural, and economic environment (Global Development Research Center 2008)—was not conducted as part of this EIS, but is suggested as a mitigation measure to better quantify potential impacts on recreational resources. Existing baseline data for conducting recreational resource impact analyses are somewhat limited because the Guam Department of Parks and Recreation (GDPR) does not collect visitor data (e.g., user counts, visitor satisfaction, user conflicts, visitor demands, and etc.) for its recreational facilities (GDPR 2009). Consequently, the analysis in this chapter relied considerably on information obtained through site reconnaissance and communications with natural resource planners at Andersen Air Force Base (AFB).
