Description:

Fagatele Bay is an embayment within the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa for which there are minimal data regarding contaminant distribution in this protected area. Resource managers have significant concerns about the potential inputs of contaminants from an unlined, solid waste landfill located approximately 600 m upslope from the Bay. Leachate from the landfill potentially includes both organic (e.g. PCBs, PAHs, personal care products) and inorganic (e.g. heavy metals) pollutants, and could reach the Bay through surface runoff, or, given the permeability of the volcanically derived soils, through groundwater flux. There is also the potential for other land-based sources of pollution (LBSP, such as pesticides) to reach the Bay.
