The Division of Environmental Quality has cleared the waters of Managaha, Tinian, and Rota this week, saying that samples collected from these islands\u2019 recreational beaches and dock did not contain excessive concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria.<\/p>\n
\u201cNone of the samples collected [from the three islands] contained excessive concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria nor did they exceed the CNMI Marine Water Quality Standards. Therefore, DEQ assigns all of the sampled beach sites a green flag. Enjoy our waters,\u201d DEQ said in a statement.<\/p>\n
DEQ analysis was part of regularly scheduled samplings. <\/p>\n
The division analyzed a total of 11 samples from the shore surrounding Managaha, samples from 12 locations on Rota, and samples from 10 locations on Tinian.<\/p>\n
The public is encouraged to contact DEQ at 664-8500 with any questions concerning this matter. [B][I](PR)[\/I][\/B]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
