	ATSDR - Public Health Assessment - AGANA POWER PLANT, MONGMONG, GUAM p-1
		Most of the stations were located in or near heavily traveled areas, and the Agana station was located in a populated area approximately 1 mile west of (and downwind from) the former APP.
		ATSDR recognizes that the fires in Agana Swamp might cause trace amounts of contaminants to be released from sediments.
		Because these fire conditions are not consistent with those that occur at Agana Swamp, it is difficult to predict whether or not adverse health effects would occur among Guam residents exposed to smoke from swamp fires.

		At Agana's plaza the lightly-armed Guamanians, commanded by Marine First Lieutenant Charles S. Todd, stood off the early Japanese attacks, but their rifles and machine guns did not provide enough firepower to hold against a coordinated attack by the Dungcas Beach landing force.
		The mission of the destroyers was implied in their designation as the Midway Neutralization Unit; they were to shell the atoll's air base on the night of 7 December while the Japanese carrier force retired from the Hawaiian area.
		Authorities at Pearl Harbor were determined to get reinforcements to the atoll and within a week after VMSB-231 made its historic long flight from Oahu, two batteries of the 4th Defense Battalion with additional naval 3-inch and 7-inch guns for coast defense were being unloaded.

	War in the Pacific NHP: Archeology and History of Guam (Section B)
		Umatac and the vicinity of Agana and Apra Harbor were apparently the only two areas of permanent Spanish settlements.
		The fort originally dates at least from 150 years ago, and probably was first built by the Spaniards in the middle or late 18th century; the earliest reference to it I have found so far is that of William Haswell in 1802, as a "citadal" with seven guns and ten soldiers.
		This bay has two forts, one on an island in the middle of the harbor of six guns and it commands the entrance of the inner harbor; the other Fort of four guns is on the high hill on the starboard.
