Advice from New Jersey Cooperative Coastal Monitoring Program (NJDEP)

“Any initial sample that exceeds the state standard requires that the local health agency issue a swimming advisory at the bathing beach where the sample was collected. Swimming Advisories warn the public of potentially unhealthy water conditions. Additional sampling is conducted until water quality results are again within the standard.”

Advice period

This report does not state a period. See the rule DirtyWaterWatch applies and its source.

Basis

njbeaches.org Beach Closing / Advisory Policies (N.J.A.C. 8:26): in effect until sampling shows Enterococci below 104 per 100 mL; no fixed window
