SHIP CONTAMINATED WASTE BACK TO U.S. MAINLAND, SAIPAN ISLANDERS PETITION

By Haidee V. Eugenio

SAIPAN, Northern Mariana Islands (March 7, 2001 - Marianas Variety/PINA Nius
Online)---A contaminated Northern Marianas village is circulating an
island-wide petition for the shipment to the U.S. of all polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCB) wastes taken from the island.

At least 4,000 non-residents of Tanapag are expected to affix their
signatures on the petition to convey their support to the villagers’ united
stand.

They are against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency’s proposed on-site treatment and destruction of PCB
wastes.
