Red flag raised at 4 sites
(DEQ) — The Division of Environmental Quality says water samples collected from DPW Channel Bridge, S. Puerto Rico Dump, Garapan Fishing Dock and Sugar Dock contained excessive concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria — enterococci — that exceeded the CNMI’s marine water quality standards.
These bacteria can indicate the presence of human and animal waste in the water.
To adequately address public health concerns, DEQ has given these locations 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.
