Dump Receivers To Raise Funds Through Revenue Bond



(Pacific Daily News)

A revenue bond likely will be floated in order to close the Ordot dump and open a new landfill, reports the Pacific Daily News.

Last month Federal Judge Frances Tydingco-Gatewood ordered government solid waste operations into receivership because of the Guam government's inability to complete the solid-waste tasks spelled out in a 2003 court order, including the opening of a new landfill.

The court-appointed receiver,  Gershman, Brickner and Bratton, aims to divert 50 percent of the waste stream from the landfill, noting that only about 2 percent of Guam's waste currently is currently recycled.

The receivers say they are " reasonably confident we can work through the process of establishing a mechanism for a revenue bond…It's a matter of ensuring the bond market that it will be paid.”
