  • 22Nd in Beachwater Quality 10% of Samples Exceeded National Standards in 2010
    CALIFORNIA† See Additional Information About California’s Beach Data Management 22nd in Beachwater Quality 10% of samples exceeded national standards in 2010 Polluted urban and suburban runoff is a major threat to water quality at the nation’s coastal beaches. Runoff from storms and irrigation carries pollution from parking lots, yards, and streets directly to waterways. In some parts of the country, stormwater routinely causes overflows from sewage systems. Innovative solutions known as green infrastructure enable communities to naturally absorb or use runoff before it causes problems. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is modernizing its national rules for sources of runoff pollution and should develop strong, green infrastructure-based requirements. California has more than 500 miles of coastal beaches, spread among over 400 beaches along the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay coastline. The California Department of Health Services administers the BEACH Act grant. Current approved methods for determining fecal indicator bacteria counts in beachwater depend on growth of cultures in samples and take at least 24 hours to process. Because of this, swimmers do not know until the next day if the water they swam in was contaminated. Likewise, beaches may be left closed even after water quality meets standards. There is a great deal of interest in technologies that can provide same-day beachwater quality results. During the 2010 beach season, researchers funded by the California State Water Board and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act tested a rapid method called quantitative polymerase chain reaction, or qPCR, at nine sampling locations in Orange County five days a week.
