The Division of Environmental Quality has rescinded a Notice of Violation earlier issued to Paradise Hotel after management immediately addressed an environmental problem in the establishment.<\/p>\n
“We are happy to report that Paradise Hotel was genuinely concerned about the safety of their guests and employees. They identified and corrected the problem,” said DEQ Director Ignacio V. Cabrera.<\/p>\n
The Garapan establishment was cited by DEQ two weeks ago for violating the CNMI’s Safe Drinking Water Standards for Microbiological Contaminants. After being served a Notice of Violation, the hotel moved quickly to identify the problem. The company then proceeded to remedy the situation by following a plan reviewed by DEQ.<\/p>\n
A re-test was conducted as requested by the hotel’s management. The follow-up test was conducted earlier this week and the results proved negative. “We are more happy to work with island-establishments in order to help them correct any problems they might have,” said Cabrera.<\/p>\n
DEQ’s Safe Drinking Water Branch’s primary goal is to plan, develop, implement and enforce the CNMI Drinking Water Regulations, which protect CNMI drinking water and public health.<\/p>\n
The NOV is an important tool when taking action against a facility for a transgression of the CNMI’s Water Regulations. DEQ will continue to monitor CNMI businesses and residences, and enforce all laws and regulations designed to protect the environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
