Reason: Bacteria
Location: Slaughter Beach
Start Date: 05/19/2015
End Date: 05/20/2015

Comments: This recreation water advisory is a caution regarding swimming at Slaughter Beach, this area was observed to have numerous seagulls at the time of sampling and has experienced rainfalls this week.  Rainfall may cause an elevation of bacteria levels in natural waterways due to runoff from the land.    Re-sampling will be conducted until we receive water quality results that meet swimming water criteria.
