Guam and CNMI Military Relocation Final EIS (July 2010) by the Guam Economic Development Authority (also see Sections 2.8, Land and Submerged Land Use and 2.16, Socioeconomics and General Services). In February 1998, Bill No. 435 was passed by the Guam Legislature and signed by Governor Carl Gutierrez, providing credits against Guam‘s Gross Receipts Tax for contractors, designers, and material suppliers who work on the Guam International Raceway in addition to exceptions from real estate taxes on the race facility‘s property. Raceway construction began in 2001 and continued through March of 2007. To date, the Government of Guam has spent approximately $7.3 million and volunteers have donated many hours developing the Raceway‘s facilities. The Raceway began holding events in 2002 and has since operated continuously. The Raceway offers a variety of race venues on asphalt and dirt tracks capable of accommodating a range of ages and skill levels, including a 14-mile (22-km) dirt track; a 0.5-mile (0.8-km) asphalt NASCAR type track; a 1-mile (2-km) long off-road course; and a paved 2.2-mile (3.6-km) Formula Three track. These race venues provide a variety of activities for various user groups, including participation in soap box derbies and mini bike races for children; quarter mile drag racing, drifting, obstacle course maneuvering, four wheeling rock crawl and mud events, stock car racing, and off-road racing for adults and young adults; and construction vehicle events for spectators of all ages. Motocross and drag races are the most frequently held events. International motorcycle and off-road races promote tourism and draw professional competitors from both the U.S. and Asia. Future plans for the Raceway include continuing the development of the 0.5-mile (0.8-km) NASCAR style track and a 2.2-mile (3.6-km) Formula Three track. The future NASCAR and Formula Three tracks are planned to provide additional international venues to increase sport tourism travel and spending on the island. Cost estimates to complete Raceway development range from $6 to 9 million. In addition to races, the Raceway hosts a number of special events every year, including music concerts, car shows, and driving schools. Some special events are combined with races and draw crowds of over 5,000 people. The Raceway is a popular recreational venue for tourists and Guam‘s local civilian and military population, and has over 100 races and events scheduled for 2009. Mangilao Golf Course This coastal 18-hole golf course is located on the coastline of Mangilao. The golf course has a restaurant in the clubhouse. A portion of the golf course protects the Chamorro archaeological site at Mochom along the bay. Leo Palace Resort This resort includes a 27-hole golf course, restaurant, tennis courts, and swimming pools. Alupang Beach Club This club offers a wide variety of activities, including dolphin watching, trolling, and parasailing. Hagatna Springs and Hagatna Swamp Water flowing from limestone forms the Hagatna Springs and flows through the Hagatna Swamp into the Hagatna River that flows into the Hagatna Bay. The springs were first used in 1914 by the Navy to overcome dry season water shortages and continued to be used until deactivation in 1957. In 1970, the springs were restored by the Guam Science Teachers Association. VOLUME 9: APPENDICES G-1-13 EIS Resource Technical Appendix
