DEQ raises red flag on Unai Babui

Posted on Dec 21 2005

The Division of Environmental Quality has given Unai Babui a red flag and advises the public not to fish or swim within 300 feet of these locations for the next 48 hours or until otherwise notified.

Samples collected from the site contained excessive concentration of fecal indicator bacteria (enterococci) that exceed the CNMI Marine Water Quality Standards. These bacteria can indicate the presence of human and animal waste in the water.

DEQ analyzes water samples collected from Tinian’s recreational beaches and storm water drainages this week.

The agency analyzed samples of marine recreational and storm drainage water from 10 locations on Tinian Island this week. DEQ welcomes all inquiries as to the quality of the beach water. The public is encouraged to contact DEQ at 664-8500 with any questions concerning this matter. (PR)
