From east to west, a steep mountainous spine runs the 20-mile length of the island, punctuated in places by notable summits including Matafao Peak, Tutuila's tallest mountain at 2,142 feet; North Pioa Mountain, popularly known as Rainmaker Mountain, 1,718; and Mount 'Alava, the steep ridgeline looming to the north of Pago Pago Harbor, marking the south boundary of the park area.

U.S. EPA Region 9: Pacific Islands:Territory of American Samoa
Of most concern is the water quality in Pago Pago harbor. In 1991, the EPA determined that there were elevated levels of various heavy metals and pesticides in the fish, seawater, and sediment in the inner portion of Pago Pago harbor. As a result the ASG issued a health advisory warning residents not to eat fish caught in the inner harbor and to always clean and gut fish before eating that are caught in the outer harbor. A few years later, the ASG with the technical assistance of Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, conducted a study to determine whether fish contaminated with heavy metals from inner Pago Pago harbor presented a public health hazard. Recommendations from this study stated that the fish advisory should be kept in effect, and periodic monitoring of metals in fish known to be consumed should be conducted to determine if the problem is widespread and continuing. At present, we are in the initial stages of coordinating an effort to develop and implement a mult ... [Read More]
