INTRODUCTION

This Fourth Edition, Second Volume, of the Guam Inventory of Planning
Information is an annotated bibliography of documents containing
planning information for Guam. The First Volume, published in 1989,
contains social and economic planning information. The present volume
contains environmental and physical planning information. Master
plans, reports, and surveys are covered, as well as information
sources available within Government of Guam agencies. The major time
period covered is 1975 through 1990, but annotations for some reports
and information available before 1975 are included if their contents
are still valid or useful.

Methodology

This bibliography of environmental and physical data sources was
completed following a search of the Bureau of Planning's reference
library, the Micronesian Area Research Center, the Nieves Flores
Library, and federal and Government of Guam agencies and departments
who produce data or studies. In all cases, it was verified that each
document is accessible for reference use and a notation is made as to
where the document can be located. The Inventory only includes those
references that have been physically located. The emphasis of this
document is on readily available planning information. Some time was
spent searching for reports, but if the source agency no longer had a
copy and we could not locate the report in one of Guam's planning
libraries, it was not included. It is also inevitable that some
studies have been overlooked or were discovered too late to be in-
cluded.

It is anticipated that this will be the last cumulative bibliography
that will be produced by the Bureau of Planning. The number of
planning documents has become so great since the first Inventory was
published in 1976, that future releases will include only the most
current documents. Therefore, you are encouraged to obtain both
Volumes I and II from the Bureau of Planning and keep them as per-
manent reference.

If you have specific document needs, we maintain a bibliographic data
base of Guam planning aid research from which document searches can be
made.

Format

Annotations are listed chronologically within each subject area.
Those citations which do no indicate a date are entered at the begin-
ning of each subject area. Citations with multiple dates are listed
as the latest publication date.

For each citation that is included under a subject area, the title,
author or source agency, and date of writing or publication are given.
There is a brief summary of the information content, usually including
the topics and issues discussed, any unique data that is presented,
and possibly the history or status of the document.

For each document, there is an availability statement which indicates
where the document is accessible to users.

Each document is located only once in the Inventory; however, many
could have been included in more than one of the subject areas.
Because of this, a topical index was prepared to show the subject area
in which each topic was included. The topical index is at the back,
and covers both Volumes.

compared to maximum allowable emissions for 2-, 4-, 24-hour and other
time periods. The second air quality monitoring activity is com-
pliance monitoring. These tests, performed when necessary, are to
ensure compliance with air quality regulations for particulate emis-
sions point sources. The third monitoring activity, variance monitor-
ing, is to measure the emissions of sources which have been granted a
variance from the emissions regulations such as Guam Power Authority

THE WASTEWATER FACILITIES PLAN

Wastewater Facilities Plan for Guam; The Water Quality Planning
process mandated by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments
of 1972 integrates pollution, wastewater, basin protection, and
numerous other planning efforts previously undertaken separately.

As part of this comprehensive water quality planning effort and to
qualify for Federal construction grants for wastewater facilities the
Government of Guam contracted with Gillham, Koebig and Koebig to
produce a Wastewater Facilities Plan. The plan, completed in late
1979, incorporated all ongoing wastewater facilities construction
projects as "existing" facilities.

The study examines existing information on pollution sources, waste
loads and flows, and water quality; and determines the current waste
loads and flows. Existing wastewater collection, treatment and
disposal facilities, and environmental conditions are inventoried.
Future waste loads and flows, based on Government of Guam population
projections, and user charges are estimated. Alternative methods of
wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal are developed and
evaluated.

The studies divide the island into five drainage areas. The number of
the Area expresses the priority ranking. Area I, Umatac and Merizo,
has the highest priority. Area V, the northern half of the island,
has better facilities, and therefore a lower priority for order of
construction.

NORTHERN GUAM LENS STUDY (NGLS)

The NGLS was undertaken to assess the amount of groundwater that could
be developed reliably and safely from the northern aquifers. The
principle objectives of the study were to obtain an accurate estimate
of sustainable yield, to determine the most efficient methods of
extracting the groundwater consistent with need and conservation, to
set out a schedule for future water development and redevelopment, to
establish a code of operational rules for management, and to recommend
institutional and legal arrangements for protecting the water supply.
This study was divided into two phases, one of which dealt chiefly
with scientific and technical aspects of water resources development
and the other with management issues.

REPORTS OF THE GUAM ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY: The Monitoring
Division of the Guam Environmental Protection Agency performs regular
tests of the groundwater (wells), recreational areas waters, surface
(river) water, and pollutant discharge into water. The following
reports are prepared.

Monthly Report of the Monitoring Division; Guam Environmental
Protection Agency; Monthly. This report contains all the data
gathered by the Monitoring Division for that month. The data is
recorded on the forms described below.

Potable (Drinking) Water: Bacteriological and Chemical Examination
Form; The drinking water distribution monitoring network is regu-
lated by the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1977. It applies to all
drinking water systems that serve at least 25 individuals daily or
have at least 15 service connections. PUAG has primary monitoring
responsibility for the distribution systems they service. PUAG
samples distribution systems weekly; GEPA samplers accompany PUAG
samplers monthly. Samples are split and run separately and results
compared. Tests are performed at points along the main water lines
to help isolate the particular problem. The report form notes:
location description, time, chloride (ppm), and total coliform per
100 milliliters. Chemical analyses are conducted by membrane
filter.

Groundwater Data Report; Tests are conducted quarterly on 94 of the
wells on Guam. PUAG has the primary monitoring responsibility for
the drinking water sources they manage, and sample all sources once
a month. Data is submitted to GEPA for review. GEPA accompanies
PUAG samplers to all sources quarterly, samples are split and
results compared. For each well is recorded: the well number, site
number, agency, date, time, pumping rate in gallons per min-ute,
meter reading, previous meter reading and date, water pressure in
PSI, chlorinator status (gas type, dry type, working or not);
chlorinator flow (pounds/day), chlorinator tanks (net weight), and
field quality of water (pH, temperature in Centigrade) and conduc-
tivity (umhos/cm at 250 C) .

Surface Water Network; This information is gathered for use by Guam
Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Environmental Protec-
tion Agency STORET data system. The program has been underway
since early 1974. For each river, estuary and marine water loca-
tion is recorded: date, tides, air temperature (OC) , rainfall,
percent relative humidity, weather observation, time, cloud type,
percent cover, windspeed by Beaufort number, wind direction (Mag.),
station name, depth sample taken (meters), time, visibility (me-
ters) using Secchi Disc, and current (dye and drogue). Separate
water samples are taken and labeled for water temperature, nutri-
ents, bacteriological tests, dissolved oxygen, and residue. Lab
analyses are conducted and results noted for dissolved oxygen
(mg/1), fecal coliform, salinity (0/100), residue (mg/1), total
nitrogen, nitrates and nitrites (mg/1) and turbidity (NTU). Sam-
pling frequency for most parameters for rivers, estuaries, and
marine waters is monthly. Fena Reservoir is monitored quarterly
through the cooperation of the U.S. Navy.

are monitored quarterly by GEPA for compliance with effluent
limitations. There are 20 active NPDES permits in force, primarily
for discharges from wastewater treatment plants and power plants.
The report form specifies minimum, average, and maximum values for
quantity and concentration for each parameter. Both the reported
and the permit condition values are shown. The number of analyzed
samples that exceed the maximum and/or minimum permit conditions
are noted. Specifies frequency of analysis for each parameter and
sample type.

quested by Guam Environmental Protection Agency Division Heads.
space is provided on the form to describe the sample and to record:
field analyses (temperature, salinity, etc.); sampling information
(number of samples, how collected and preserved); type of analysis
requested (physical, chemical, bacteriological); and laboratory
analysis results and interpretation. A thorough record is kept of
who performed each action, the date and time it was performed, and
the methods used. This form is completed when a complaint regard-
ing drinking water quality is received by GEPA.

development, and resources utilization. These policies provide
official guidelines for use during consideration of proposed develop-
ments and land-use actions such as zone changes, tract maps, vari-
ances, and conditional uses. A land-use districting map was prepared
to provide a general idea of what uses would be compatible with each
district. It is not an official zoning map.

for PUD's and a discussion of the unique characteristics and needs of
different types of areas: seashore, urban area, agricultural area,
conservation, flood plains, and highway interchange and airport areas.
Specific guidelines for each of the following types of PUD are in-
cluded: residential, commercial, resort, and new community. It
explains the land-use intensity rating system that is computed to
measure the density permitted or desirable for a given development. A
series of acceptable or permitted ratio of various land-uses (e.g. the
ratios of open space area to living area) depending on the area's
residential desirability are presented. The guidelines include a
sample review of a proposed planned development.

DEPARTMENT OF LAND MANAGEMENT RECORDS DIVISION

Files of Land ownership; Land ownership records are kept at the
Department of Land Management. When a document such as a deed of
gift, warranty deed, or quit claim deed is brought into Land Manage-
ment, a Document Number is issued, a notation is put in the Numerical
Index by municipality and alphabetical index by grantee/grantor (see
below), and the document is filed by the Document Number. Similarly,
if a mortgage is presented, a Mortgage Number is issued, a notation
put into the Numerical Index, and the mortgage is filed in the miscel-
laneous file. If Department of Land Management finds that the title
to a piece of property is valid, a Certificate of Title, with a
number, is issued by Land Management. A copy of the title is filed
and a notation as to the owner is put in the Numerical Index.

Numerical Index; The Torren Act of Guam requires that all transactions
affecting a parcel of land, except lands numbered by Tract (see Tracts
book, below), must be shown in the Numerical Index. This Index is an
ongoing record of ownership of each parcel of land. Whenever Depart-
ment of Land Management is informed that the ownership of a parcel of
land has changed, a new line of information is added showing the first
entry of Possessory Title, any liens, encumbrances, or other transac-
tions filed against the property, as well as the grantor, grantee, lot
number, estate number, size of parcel, and book page. This system is
computerized at Data Processing Division, Department of Administra-
tion, and is up-to-date since July 1980. Four computer listings are
updated on a daily basis: consecutive documents number listing,
municipality listing, grantor listing, and grantee listing. Prior to
July 1980, the Index is organized in books by municipality, urban/sub-
urban, block number, and lot number.
Tract Books; Track Books contain land ownership records for most of
the land of Guam that is numbered by tract. The information is
organized by tract number, block number (if any), and lot number. The
information recorded in the tract book is the same as the Numerical
Index. Some small tracts are kept in the Numerical Index.

Microfilm File; All land documents are being microfilmed from 1898 to
the present. These are filed numerically by document number. Viewers
are provided for public research. Use of a copier is available.

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE AND TAXATION

Commercial Property Record and ADDraisal card; Farm and Residential
Property Appraisal Card; Department of Revenue and Taxation. Files of
appraisal forms are kept at Revenue and Taxation, based on a survey
done every three years. The forms are filed by lot number, within
municipality, and split into urban and suburban. Each form contains
the computer-generated master directory reference number (see below).

Assessment Valuation Manual - 1987 Triennial Assessment; Department of
Revenue and Taxation; 1987. contains construction cost factors and
other relevant data used in the 1987 revaluation of all taxable
properties within the Territory of Guam.

Statistical and Revenue Analysis Report; Department of Revenue and
Taxation; 1989. Contains detailed analysis of the Tax Roll such as
total appraised land/building parcels and corresponding values and
total land/building tax assessments. The implementation of the Real
Property Tax computer system in 1989 enables the Division to generate
reports including property master list by taxpayer name, taxpayer ID
number, taxpayer account number, and parcel number; delinquent roll,
letter, tax deed, delinquent roll by taxpayer name, by municipality;
tax assessment roll, tax assessment roll home exemption by taxpayer
name; tax statements by zip code and bank code.

1991 Reappraisal Plan; Department of Revenue and Taxation; 1990. The
1991 Reappraisal Plan is in compliance with Section 24306, chapter 24,
Title 11, GCA. The plan includes the objective, scope, funding
resources and time period necessary to complete the revaluation of all
taxable properties within the Territory of Guam.

MAP SELECTION FOR GUAM PLANNERS

Maps provide planners with an effective means of graphically display-
ing data for study and analysis through all stages of planning. In
considering what maps to use for a planning program or selecting a
single map for a short report, factors such as scale, content, ac-
curacy, date of map and map sheet size are important. These factors,
as they apply on Guam, are outlined here for the guidance of all who
are involved in, or interested in, planning for Guam.

Map Scale

The map scale is one of its most important characteristics and affects
nearly all other factors. Map scale is the relationship between a
unit of distance on the map and the correspondence distance on the
ground. This relationship is expressed as a representative fraction.
For example:
I

24,000 or 1:24,000 or 1/24,000

indicates that any linear unit of measurement on the map represents
24,000 such linear units on the ground. For example, one inch on the
map represents 24,000 inches on the ground. In countries on the foot
system, map scales are expressed by giving the foot ground equivalent
of an inch unit distance on the map, such as 1 inch = 2,000 feet. The
use of this system to derive map scales imposes restrictions and
problems, as conversion to the metric system progresses. In Table I
most scales of past, present and proposed mapping on Guam are given,
including the ridiculous inch to meter ratio which is regrettably
still in use.

Map Series and Sheets

Examination of Table I reveals the important direct relationship
between scale and map sheet size. It is usually beneficial to a
planner to have a very large scale so that more detail can be seen.
When the entire island of Guam must be considered, the largest practi-
cal scale for convenient use in.an office is about 1:25,000 (or
1:24,000). The largest scale maps (with the exception of architec-
tural plot plans) are normally 1:500 (or 1:480) which could provide
abundant detail but would require an area the size of a football field
for the total island of Guam. Therefore, the larger scale maps are
divided into a series of rectangular map sheets, each sheet covering a
limited area. The characteristics of the various map series in use on
Guam are shown in Table II. Sheet lines of the various series are
shown on the map index sheets which follow.

Exceptions to a series of rectangular map sheets occasionally occur.
Such maps, although drafted on a rectangular sheet of paper, show an
area defined by lines such as political boundaries or other limits of
particular concern. Coverage may be complete for all such areas on
the island at one scale, or only portions of the island are shown, or
different scales for different areas may be used. Examples are maps
of municipalities and zoning maps as shown on the index maps.

184

Map Content

The content of maps may vary considerably, and full detail is beyond
the scope of this introduction. Most mapping on Guam has been basic
planimetric (showing structures, streets, etc.), topographic (showing
land elevation), or cadastral (showing property lines), with other
information superimposed by overprinting or overlaying. The use of an
orthophoto (photo from the air corrected to proper scale) for a base
map is being implemented by the Uniform Mapping System for Guam.
Content of the base map is critical to the information to be added and
can either enhance or detract from the effectiveness of the final map
product. Content is also affected by the map scale as to how much
detail can be actually shown and the accuracy of that data which is
portrayed.

Map Accuracy

Accuracy in mapping is a very elusive factor. Topographic mapping
accuracy is generally referenced to National Map Accuracy Standards
which are fairly reliable standards at scales of 1:10,000 and smaller.
At larger scales and on features other than plainly visible topo-
graphy, a set standard does not apply to every case. The best ap-
proach to accuracy where critical values are concerned is to consider
all map data with suspicion until the product can be examined, spot
checked if necessary, and evaluated for the purpose for which the map
is to be used.

Map Date

The date a map was compiled and any revision dates should be carefully
noted. This should also include the date of the source material from
which the map was compiled. As an example, a 1968 edition of a
topographic map compiled from aerial photography taken in early 1967
is only as up-to-date as the time of the photography unless extensive
field editing is completed just prior to publication.

Map Sheet Size

Common sheet sizes are 1111 x 1711, 1811 x 2411, 2411 x 3611, and 2811 x 4011
with the 2411 x 3611 size being the most common and convenient for
general office use. The factor of map sheet size not only affects the
convenience of the map user in handling the map but also is critical
when reproduction techniques must be considered. The reproduction
processes available on Guam are (1) Ozalid blueprints, (2) photo-
graphy, (3) offset press, and (4) xerox. Each of these has advantages
and disadvantages and provides different degrees of accuracy in
reproduction and difference in economy, often depending on the quan-
tity of maps to be reproduced.

185

MAP 4

Man Reproduction by Ozalid

For black and white maps, the most common method of reproduction is
Ozalid blue line or black line copies. A transparent original is
required, usually on clear tracing paper or a stable base polyester
film such as I'mylar". Intermediate reproducible on either mylar or
sepia paper are possible at the same scale. Most prints produced are
a dark blue line on white background, but a "black line" paper,
printing a dark black on white, is also available. Maximum sheet
sizes normally available are 30 x 42 inches while roll stock paper is
available in widths up to 42 inches. Lengths up to about 8 feet can
be processed through the printer with the maximum width of 42 inches.
Due to unavoidable slippage between original and print, and due to
distorted exposure of light rays on the circular drum of Ozalid
Y
printing equipment, strict scale accuracy of the print is not pos-
sible.

Map Reproduction by Photography

Photography is used in mapping primarily to provide accurate inter-
mediate products in map compilation and can also be used to accurately
reduce or enlarge most map products. Maximum film size of 40 x 40
inches square is available on Guam with 500% enlargement and 25%
reduction possible. The cost of photography is higher for all pro-
ducts, but for reproduction requirements such as change of scale and
rigid scale accuracy, it is necessary.

Map Reproduction by Offset Press

offset press should be considered when more than 50 or 100 copies are
needed-* Maximum press size available on Guam is 22 x 34 inches, while
most smaller presses are limited to 11 x 17 inches or 17 x 22 inches.
Multi-color printing is possible when accurately registered color-
separation originals are provided.

Map Reproduction by Xerox

Xerox reproduction has limited value except in small reports. size is
normally restricted to letter size (8 1/2 x 11 inches) or legal size
(8 1/2 x 14 inches). Reduction. of 1411 x 1811 originals to letter size
is possible, but the scale is distorted by the odd reduction of the
xerox camera.

Table I.

In this table, the most common scales are shown. Column one (1) is
the representative fraction of map unit distance to corresponding
ground unit distance. Column two (2) provides the relationship of one
centimeter on the map to the equivalent ground distance in kilometers
or meters. Column three (3) gives the relationship of one inch on the
map to the equivalent ground distance in miles (approximate) or feet.
Column four (4) indicates the size of a map which is needed to cover
the entire island of Guam at the scale indicated. The left dimension
is in centimeters or meters, while the right dimension is in inches or
feet. The scales between 1:1,000,000 and 1:50,000 are possible on one
map sheet, while the larger scales must be assembled by matching
together several sheets.

three small scales (1:63,360 1:24,000 - 1:12,000) are supersed-
ed by metric scales '(1:50,000 1:25,000 1:12,500). The three
large scales (111 = 400" - 111 20011 - ill 1001) will be phased
out as they are replaced by metric scales (1:5,000 - 1:2,500 -
1:1,250).

Indicates base ten metric scales of the Uniform Mapping System.
Reduction of maps at this scale to a smaller metric scale may
sometimes be necessary for matching publication format sizes in
planning reports.

INDICES OF GUAM MAPS

Each series of maps that are compiled usually includes an index in
some form. The index serves to locate the particular map sheet or
sheets which provides coverage of the specific area of interest.
Included on the following pages are the indexes to the base maps which
are available for Guam. The limits of each maps sheet of the series
are shown on an outline of the island with the name or number of the
individual sheets. Further details of the map series and a general
description of the contents of each series is provided in the follow-
ing paragraphs.

Ouadrangle Maps: Prepared by- the U.S. Geological Survey on dates
indicated. These are standard topographic maps of Guam at a scale of
1:50,000 and 1:24,000 (111=20001). The 1:50,000 scale map is a single
sheet approximately 3411 by 4011 produced in Color. Coverage is the
entire island and extends across 27 minutes of longitude and 22
minutes of latitude. The 1968 edition is no longer being printed and
is not available. A new edition with planimetric data revised from
1975 aerial photography was published in 1978. Contour interval is 40
feet, and.grid ticks for both the Guam Geodetic Coordinate System and
the Universal Transverse Mercator as well as latitude and longitude
are shown.

The 1:24,000 (111=20001) scale maps are standard 7.5 minute quadrangle
maps, but due to Guam's location near the equator, each sheet extends
only 6 minutes in longitude so that sheet size of 2211 x 2811 is the
same as in higher latitudes. The first edition was published in 1968
from aerial photos taken in 1967 and consists of a total of nine (9)
sheets. These maps were revised in 1978 based on aerial photography
taken in 1975 and are available in standard full-color sheets from map
distribution centers of the U.S. Geological Survey. A set of mylar
reproducible of the 1978 maps are on file at the Bureau of Planning,
and arrangements for reproduction can be made. Contour interval is 20
feet, and grid ticks for both the Guam Geodetic Coordinate System and
the Universal Transverse Mercator as well as latitude and longitude
are shown. See Map 13.

10001 Geological Survey Maps: Prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey
from the 1968 quadrangle maps. This series of maps, consisting of 11
sheets, was prepared from the compilation sheets of the standard
topographic maps at a scale of 1:12,000 (111=10001). These maps
consist of the planimetric detail with name data and contours combined
on one mylar sheet. These are clearly marked "advance sheets subject
to correction," and the final edit on these sheets was never com-
pleted. The format of the sheets follows the lines of the Guam Land
Square System, each sheet extending 101000 meters by 10,000 meters on
the Guam Geodetic Coordinate System on a sheet size of 3611 x 36".
originals are on file at the Department of Land Management. Contour
interval is 20 feet, and full 1,000 meter Guam Geodetic Coordinate
system grid lines are shown. See Map 14.

MAP 9

4001 Geological Survey Maps: Prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey
in 1968. These maps are a direct photographic enlargement of the
1:12,000 (111=10001) maps to a scale of 1:4,800 (111=4001). The origi-
nal 1:12,000 sheets were divided into 9 equal parts, each new sheet
extends 3,333 meters by 3,333 meters and covers a sheet size of about
3211 x 32". Since this was a simple direct enlargement far beyond the
reasonable limits of the original control and photography on which
this map series was originally prepared, the accuracy of the maps at
scale 1:4,800 does not meet national map accuracy standards. These
map are on file at the Department of Land Management. See Map 15.

Land Square System Maps: Prepared by contract for the Government of
Guam in 1953. These maps are a series of Tax Assessors Maps compiled
from the land records of the Department of Land Management. The maps
were drawn at a scale of 1:3,937 (1 inch equals 100 meters) and each
sheet covers one of the Land Square Sections of 2,500 x 2,500 meters
on a sheet size of 28" x 40". All properties are shown with parcel or
lot number and the value per hectare for tax purposes. Sepias of the
original maps are on file at the Department of Revenue and Taxation.
See Map 16.

Official Zoning Maps: Prepared for the Department of Land Management
in 1965. These maps, at a scale of 1:4,800 (111=4001), are compiled on
a topographic base derived from military maps of World War II and not
reliable for accurate contours. Overlayed on the topography were the
property lines of known lots and parcels and a 2,000 foot grid conver-
sion of the basic metric Guam Geodetic Coordinate System. The series
consists of eighteen (18) sheets which further development was ex-
pected. This is primarily the central part of the island and villages
of the north and south areas only. Sepias of the original maps on 361,
x 4211 sheet size are on file at the Department of Land Management.
Zoning information is maintained on the maps and periodic revisions
are made as zoning amendments occur. Presently, the Department of
Land Management is developing a new series of zoning maps at a scale
of 111=4001 with updated property data. These maps are filed at the
Department of Land Management. See Map 17.

Base Map: Prepared by the Bureau of Planning in 1975. This map was
prepared as the initial step in the Uniform Mapping System and the
currently available product is intended as an interim effort until a
better base map is available. The eleven sheets of the 1:12,000
Geological Survey maps were reduced photographically to 1: 25,000
scale. The negatives were then cut and combined into a four sheet
format each 2811 x 3611 and coverage of 19,000 by 16,000 meters per
sheet. A positive of each sheet was then made and the Uniform Grid
System 1,000 meter lines were enhanced for clarity and the grid column
and row identifiers added. From aerial photography taken in the
spring of 1975 at approximately the same scale, all new roads were
traced to provide an update to the road system that had occurred since
1968. The map also shows the 3000 by 4000 meter limits of the larger
scale Uniform Map System maps with column and row identifiers.
originals are on file at the Bureau of Planning, and arrangements for
reproduction can be made. See Map 18.

191

MAP 10

Official Street Atlas: Prepared by the Bureau of Planning in 1975-
1976. This Atlas consists of 70 map sheets and shows the location and
all known names of roads and streets on Guam. It is an ink map on
mylar at the scale of 1:12,500 with sheet size of 1511 x 18". There is
also a sheet on "Explanation of Map Symbols" and a sheet on "Explan-
ation of Location System" and the cover sheet as shown in the map
indexes. The Atlas also includes symbols to locate government build-
ings, schools, churches, etc., plus military boundaries and the
boundaries of the municipal election districts. Presently, the Atlas
is being revised to reflect any changes or additions to the Island's
street patterns and street names. This function is being done as part
of the Street Address Project. The original mylars are on file at the
Department of Public Works, and arrangements for reproduction can be
made. See Map 19.

General Planning Map Series: Prepared by a private contractor for the
Government of Guam in 1976. This map series consists of 70 sheets
plus an index sheet on mylar at the size of 2811 x 40". The maps are
at the scale of 1:4,800 (111=4001), and each sheet covers an area of
3000 by 4000 meters. The maps were prepared by photogrametric proces-
ses from aerial photography taken during February through June 1975
and available in three styles: (1) Orthophoto image only with Uniform
Grid System lines in meters, (2) 10 foot contour maps only with metric
grid lines and foot grid ticks, and (3) combination orthophoto image
and 101 contour. The maps are photo image and/or contours only, and
no other symbols or lettering is included. The maps were prepared to
National Map Accuracy Standards with normal caution of the orthophoto
process which recognizes that objects not at ground level may be
displaced from true position. originals of these maps are on file at
the Bureau of Planning and the Department of Public Works, and ar-
rangements for reproduction may normally be made. See Map 20.

Reduced Planning Map Series: Prepared by private contract for the
Government of Guam in 1976. This is a 38.4% reduction of the 1:4,800
General Planning Map series to scale of 1:12,500. The orthophoto only
and orthophoto-contour combination are each available in either
negative or positive form on a sheet size of 1311 x 17". Inquiry
should be made at the Bureau of Planning. See Map 20.

Outline Map (1:75,000) 2411 x 3611: Prepared by a private contractor
for the Government of Guam in 1976. This map was prepared using the
1975 aerial photos as the data source. The map was designed primarily
as a base map on which to collect general planning data and provide a
graphical display. As an "outline map," only primary and secondary
highways, place names, and municipal and military boundaries are
shown. Grid lines of the Uniform Grid System are also incorporated on
the map. This map is on file at the Bureau of Planning, and arrange-
ments for reproduction can be made.

192

MAP 11

Areas of Particular Concern (APC) Maps: Prepared by the Bureau of
Planning to reflect specific geographic areas where either natural
resource values, geologic and manmade constraints or hazards play an
important role in determining the capability or suitability of land
for particular uses. The series of maps was prepared using data
provided by various Government of Guam and Federal Government agencies
which are incorporated into reproducible mylar prints of the 1:75,000
outline map or the 1: 25,000 base maps of Guam. Contents of these
maps include areas of natural resource value such as aquifer recharge,
soils, wetlands, limestone forests, etc.; Geologic and manmade con-
straints or hazards such as seismic fault zones, sound level zones,
slide and erosion zones, Flood Hazard zones, etc. These maps are on
file at the Bureau of Planning, and arrangements for reproduction can
be made.

Community Design and Land Use Districting Maps: Prepared by the
Bureau of Planning and produced in color by a private contractor in
1977. The Community Design series consists of 13 sheets at a size of
2811 x 3011 and are at the scale of 1:12,500 in meters. The Land Use
Districting map is a single sheet of 2411 x 3611, and is at a scale of
1:75,000 in meters. These maps were prepared using the 1975 aerial
photos as a background base, superimposing it with the color coded
