Youth Congress adopts resolutions opposing Chamorro Land Trust extraction and lease amendment, citing aquifer and community risks
Summary
Representative Charfers led two resolutions that the Guam Youth Congress adopted Nov. 15, 2025 — both express strong opposition to recent Chamorro Land Trust actions (a proposed mass grading/extraction at Lot 5412 and a lease amendment tied to Public Law 38-61). Sponsors cited threats to the Northern Guam Aquifer, coastal erosion, and property impacts.
The Guam Youth Congress on Nov. 15 adopted two near‑identical resolutions opposing recent Chamorro Land Trust actions related to a mass grading/extraction proposal and a lease amendment tied to Public Law 38‑61.
Representative Charfers (Mangilao), who sponsored both measures, told lawmakers the proposals did not adequately protect residents and posed “serious environmental damage,” including accelerated coastal erosion and risks to the Northern Guam Aquifer. "This bill ... exposes our coastline to coastal erosion at an expedited pace, and it also imposes serious environmental damage to the Northern Guamlands Aquifer," Charfers said during floor remarks presenting Resolution 6-35.
