SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico: The U.S. Navy has set aside $200 million for the removal of military waste in Vieques island, just east of Puerto Rico’s main island, authorities announced Tuesday.
The money will be used in the next seven years to remove explosives in the island’s eastern region, the site of most previous military training exercises, said Richard Mach, with the Navy’s environment office.
