A group of Vieques residents delivered an ultimatum Wednesday to Environmental Quality Board [EQB] President Pedro J. Nieves, demanding that the agency take charge and stop the controlled burning of vegetation and the surface detonation of bombs and munitions left on the island after decades of military maneuvers by the Navy. “Since they [the EQB] have not paid any attention to our claims . and since there is abundant information demonstrating that contamination continues on Vieques, it is our duty to put pressure on the government,” Vieques activist Ismael Guadalupe said at EQB headquarters. “I think the possibility of us being heard is vanishing, so we will have to do whatever is necessary for us to protect our children.”
