California has more than 400 beaches stretching along more than 500 miles of Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay

coastline. The California Department of Health Services administers the BEACH Act grant.

MtgSampg Pactces: Beachwater quality monitoring in California occurs from at least April 1 to October 31, with

most beaches in Southern California and in Santa Cruz, San Mateo, and San Francisco Counties monitored year-round.

Individual counties determine sampling locations, while sampling depth and minimum sampling frequency are

determined by state law. Most counties sample at more locations

and often more frequently than required by state law.1 Samples are

taken in ankle-deep water. Monitoring locations in California are

selected based on the number of visitors, the location of storm

drains, NPDES effluent discharge requirements, and legislative

requirements. Monitored beaches represent the vast majority of

beach day use in California. All beaches along the San Francisco

Bay are monitored per legislation. Funding cuts resulted in

reduced water quality monitoring in some areas of the state in

2009. For example, Ventura County did not begin monitoring

until June of 2009, and locations dropped to 40 from 53 because

of funding cuts.Samples are usually collected in the most likely areas of possible

contamination. In Los Angeles County, for example, sampling points are located where creeks or storm drains enter the

surf zone, which are usually permanently posted as being under advisory. Most other counties may permanently post

outfalls and sample 25 yards up or down the coast from the outfall to predict further impacts to beach bathing areas.1

Shortly after an advisory is issued, immediate resampling occurs in order to lift that advisory as soon as possible. When

there is a closing, samples must meet standards for two days before the beach can be reopened. States that monitor more

frequently after an exceedance is found tend to have higher percent exceedance rates and lower total closing/advisory days

than they would if their sampling schedule were not altered after an exceedance was found.

resuts: In 2009, California reported 452 coastal beaches, 10 (2%) of which were monitored daily, 14 (3%) more

than once a week, 281 (62%) once a week, 12 (3%) once a month, and 129 (28%) less than once a month; 2 (

For the fifth consecutive year, NRDC looked at the percent of monitoring samples that exceeded the states daily

maximum bacterial standards (all reported samples were used to calculate the 2009 percent exceedance values, including

duplicate samples and samples taken outside the official beach season, if any). NRDC considered a sample on a given day

at a given beach station to be in exeedance if any one of Californias bacterial standards was exceeded. If all bacterial

standards were exceeded on a given day at a given station, NRDC counted that as one exceedance. For example, if a

sample exceeded the enterococcus, E. coli, and total coliform standards on a given day, NRDC counted that as one

exceedance, not three (note that when determining Californias national beachwater quality ranking, NRDC analyzed

results based on the single-sample maximum BEACH Act standard of 104 cfu/100 ml enterococcus).

In 2009, 9% of all reported beach monitoring samples exceeded the states daily maximum bacterial standards. The

beaches with the highest percent exceedance rates in 2009 were Avalon Beach-North of GP Pier in Los Angeles County

(82%), Pudding Creek Beach-Pudding Lagoon in Mendocino County (65%), Poche County Beach in Orange County

(63%), Avalon Beach-Near Busy B Cafe (52%), Santa Monica State Beach-Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles County

(46%), Candlestick Point-Windsurfer Circle in San Francisco County (46%), Cabrillo Beach (45%), Surfrider Beach

(45%), Avalon Beach-South of GP Pier in Los Angeles County (44%), and Newport Bay-Newport Blvd. Bridge in

Orange County (43%).

San Francisco County had the highest exceedance rate (17%) in 2009, followed by Los Angeles (16%), Mendocino

(14%), Santa Cruz (11%), Humboldt (11%), San Mateo (10%), Contra Costa (10%), Orange (8%), Santa Barbara (8%),

Alameda (8%), San Diego (6%), Monterey (5%), San Luis Obispo (5%), Ventura (5%), Marin (4%), and Sonoma (4%).

Comparing percent exceedance rates with those of previous years, NRDC includes only those beaches monitoredand reported each year between 2006 and 2009. For this consistent set of 234 beaches, the percent of samples exceeding

the standard decreased to 9% in 2009 from 10% in 2008, 8% in 2007, and 12% in 2006.

Csgs ad AdvsesStadads ad Pcedues: Local health agencies are responsible for issuing beachwater quality warnings.2 There are

four types of beachwater quality warnings: postings, rain advisories, permanent postings, and closings. Postings are issued

when a water sample fails to meet bacterial standards. Rain advisories, on the other hand, are preemptive warnings to


3/23


prevent people from swimming in ocean waters during a rain event and for three days after rainfall ceases; permanent

postings are issued at sites where historic data show that the beachwater generally contains elevated bacteria levels.2 Beach

closings are generally issued after sewage spills or other serious health hazards.

However, although it is rare, local health officials do sometimes decide to close

a beach when more than one standard is exceeded or when exceedances are far

in excess of the standards.1 This is rare, however, and closings are generally

issued only when it is suspected that sewage is impacting a beach.

For total coliform, the single-sample standard is 1,000 cfu/100 ml if the

ratio of fecal/total coliform bacteria exceeds 0.1. Otherwise, the single-sample

standard for total coliform is 10,000 cfu/100 ml. The total coliform standard

for the geometric mean of at least five weekly samples collected during a

30-day period is 1,000 cfu/100 ml. For fecal coliform, the single-sample

standard is 400 cfu/100 ml and the standard for the geometric mean of at least

five weekly samples collected during a 30-day period is 200 cfu/100 ml. In

some jurisdictions, E. coliis used as a surrogate for fecal coliform; in this case,

the standard is the same as for fecal coliform. For enterococcus, the single-

sample standard is 104 cfu/100 ml and the standard for the geometric mean of

at least five weekly samples collected during a 30-day period is 35 cfu/100 ml. Almost all counties monitor for all three

organisms (total coliform, fecal coliform, and enterococcus), and an exceedance of the single-sample standard of any oneof these three indicators triggers an advisory. Geometric mean standards are sometimes used to keep a beach posted after

the single-sample maximum has been exceeded but are rarely used by themselves to trigger a posting.1

Advisories are posted without resampling when a single-sample exceedance occurs. There is no protocol for delaying

or forgoing an advisory when a single-sample exceedance occurs.

Since 2003, San Diego County has used a predictive model to trigger beach closings at three south county beaches

near the outlet of the Tijuana River. These beaches are Imperial Beach, Coronado Beach, and Silver Strand State Beach.

The model assesses the need for closures based on real-time information about ocean currents in addition to other

parameters. Use of the model allows the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health to make more accurate

and timely notifications to protect the health of beachgoers.3

In addition to advisories triggered by indicator exceedances, three-day preemptive rain advisories are automatically issued

for all beaches in five counties (Los Angeles, Monterey, Orange, San Diego, and Santa Cruz) when rainfall exceeds pre-

determined levels, regardless of whether bacterial monitoring samples have been collected and analyzed. Los Angeles Countyadvises swimmers that to stay safe when swimming in the ocean, ocean water should be avoided for 72 hours after a rain-

storm.4 These general advisories affect all beaches in the county. As a general rule, the Recreational Health Program issues

a rain advisory when there is 0.1 inch or more of rainfall at the University of Southern California rain gauge; however, its

decision can vary depending on how long it has been since the last rainfall, how sporadic the rainfall is, and where it is

falling, since, according to the agency, much of the watershed that feeds storm drain flow is in the hills and mountains, which

have rainfall different from those levels at the rain gauge. Orange County issues preemptive countywide rain advisories,

warning of elevated bacteria levels in the ocean for a period of at least 72 hours after rain events of 0.2 inch or more.

San Diego County issues preemptive rain advisories for a period of up to 72 hours after a rain event of 0.2 inch or more.

Preemptive advisories are also issued for reasons other than rain, such as excessive debris on the beach. Finally,

preemptive closings are issued when there is a known sewage spill or when sewage is suspected of impacting a beach.

Closings are issued immediately upon notification by the agency responsible for the spill.

numbe Csgs ad Advses: Total closing/advisory days for 714 events lasting six consecutive weeks or less

decreased 30% to 2,904 days in 2009 from 4,133 days in 2008, 4,736 days in 2007, 4,644 days in 2006, and

5,199 days in 2005. Furthermore, there was a dramatic difference between northern California counties and Southern

California counties. Closing/advisory days increaseddramatically in northern California counties and decreased

dramatically in Southern California, where several counties reduced monitoring frequency due to budget cuts.Heavy

first flush rain events in October of 2009 influenced northern California beaches.5 In addition, on October 30, 2009,

a tank vessel spilled an estimated 400 to 800 gallons of bunker fuel into the San Francisco Bay. The spill reached the

In addition, there were 4 extended events (259 days total) and 1 permanent event (141 days total) in 2009. Extended

events are those in effect more than 6 but not more than 13 consecutive weeks; permanent events are in effect for

more than 13 consecutive weeks. In 2008, there were 3 extended events (148 days total) and 9 permanent events

(1,700 days total).

Causes Csgs ad Advses: For the 714 events lasting six consecutive weeks or less, 79% (2,308) of closing/

advisory days in 2009 were due to monitoring that revealed elevated bacteria levels, 1% (40) were preemptive (i.e.,

without waiting for monitoring results) due to heavy rainfall, 3% (90) were preemptive due to known sewage spills/leaks,

4% (102) were preemptive due to other reasons, and there were no data for 13% (364).

repted Suces Beachwate Ctamat: 2% (57) of closing/advisory days were from stormwater runoff, 76%

(2,212) were from unknown sources of contamination, 3% (90) were from sewage spills/leaks, and 5% (157) were from

other sources of contamination. There was no information on contamination sources for 13% (388) of closing/advisory days.
