The Supreme Court on Wednesday considered whether the Air Force must conduct an environmental review before detonating munitions at a Guam site where it has destroyed ordnance since 1982.

The nonprofit Prutehi Guåhan argues that the Air Force's application to renew a permit with the Guam Environmental Protection Agency was an agency action requiring review. The group says the detonations threaten Guam's main water source, sea turtles and an Indigenous cultural site. The case concerns whether the Air Force may continue the disposal practice.
