The Division of Environmental Quality has raised the red flag on one beach site on Rota—District #2 Storm Drainage—after samples collected showed concentrations of the fecal indicator bacteria enterococci that exceeded the CNMI Marine Water Quality Standards.

To adequately address public health concerns, DEQ has given this location a red flag and advises the public not to fish nor swim within 300 feet of this location for the next 48 hours or until otherwise notified.

The public is encouraged to contact DEQ at 664-8500 with any questions concerning this matter.
