The Division of Environmental Quality has raised the green flag on all of Tinian’s beaches and water drainages this week.

None of the samples collected contained excessive concentration 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,” the agency said in a statement.

DEQ analyzes water samples collected from Tinian’s recreational beaches and storm water drainages this week as part of the regularly scheduled sampling.

The agency analyzed samples of marine recreational and storm drainage water from 10 locations on Tinian 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.
