COMMUNITY BRIEFS – May 31, 2012
The Division of Environment Quality has red-flagged Hidden Beach and is advising the public not to fish or swim within 300 feet of this site for the next 48 hours or until otherwise notified. Samples collected from this site had excessive concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria (enterococci) that exceeded the CNMI Marine Water Quality Standards. These bacteria can indicate the presence of human and animal waste in the water. For more information, contact DEQ at 664-8500. (DEQ)
