  • American Samoa Power Authority P.O
    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION IX 75 Hawthorne Street b San Francisco, CA 94105 December 14, 2007 In Reply Refer To: WTR-7 Michael Keyser, Acting CEO American Samoa Power Authority P.O. Box PPB Pago Pago, AS 96799 Re: July 16-19, 2007 Clean Water Act Inspections Dear Mr. Keyser: Enclosed is the December 14, 2007 report for our July 16-19 diagnostic inspection of the American Samoa Power Authority (“ASPA”), Tutuila Island sewage treatment works. We found that the ASPA wastewater utility functions as designed and up to capability. The sewage treatment plants and their sewer collections systems are well run and maintained. The staff is trained, largely experienced, and capable to successfully operate and maintain plant and equipment. However, funding is not linked to the sewer services and lessened engineering capability has made it difficult to accomplish capital improvement projects. Future compliance largely depends on whether the NPDES permits are reissued with 301(h) waivers intact, and how compliance with the water quality standards will be measured. Without the waivers, future capital costs associated with treatment plant upgrades to full secondary treatment could range up to above $20 million. The main requirements and recommendations of this inspection are summarized below: • ASPA should complete the upgrade of the Airport force main and the rehabilitation of the Malaloa lift station. • ASPA should complete a rate study to determine the costs to operate and maintain the wastewater sewerage works as well as the costs of capital improvements. • ASPA should consider reinstating formal staff training through courses in the operation and maintenance of plant and equipment.

    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.
