Guam Flood Survey and Mitigation Plan

(a)The Director of Public Works shall conduct a comprehensive, island-wide survey of all residential and commercial areas of Guam, or areas otherwise subject to human occupancy, that are prone to flooding during storms, typhoons, heavy rains or general inclement weather. Such survey shall be conducted using existing manpower and budgetary resources as exist within the Department. Such survey shall be completed within ninety

(90)days of the effective date of this Act, except that failure to meet such deadline shall not be construed as relieving the Department of its mandate to complete the survey required herein.

(b)Upon conclusion of the survey, the Director of Public Works shall submit a report to I Maga’hågan/Maga’låhen Guåhan and the Speaker of I Liheslaturan Guåhan. Such report shall contain, at a minimum, a comprehensive and detailed map of all areas in Guam surveyed, a detailed description of each area included in the survey, causal and contributory factors that lead to or otherwise exacerbate flooding in areas surveyed, mitigating measures that are recommended to eliminate or severely reduce the threat of flooding in areas surveyed, in the absence of plausible mitigating efforts, recommendations for relocation inclusive of recommendations for land exchanges or purchases, and all estimated costs associated with mitigating efforts or ameliorative solutions. Such report shall be submitted no later than ninety

(90)days after the conclusion of the survey, except that failure to meet such deadline shall not be construed as relieving the Department of its mandate to complete the report required herein. ARTICLE 13 MANENGGON MEMORIAL
