Posted on Jan 06 2009
The Division of Environmental Quality analyzed water samples collected from Tinian’s recreational beaches and storm water drainage this week as part of routine sampling.
None of the samples collected contained excessive concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria nor did they exceed the CNMI Marine Water Quality Standards. DEQ assigned all of the sampled beach sites a green flag.
The division also assigned a green flag to Managaha Island’s recreational beaches and dock after routine sampling showed that none of the samples contained excessive concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria.
The division analyzed sampled of marine recreational and storm drainage water from 10 locations on Tinian this week. On Managaha, it obtained a total of 11samples.
