Document Description
There are 225 waterbodies in CA impaired due to fecal pollution. Current water quality objectives were developed at beaches that received human sources (i.e. point sources), but 83% of the impaired waterbodies are dut to nonpoint and perhaps nonhuman sources. A recent CA study indicated that current fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) standards may not be predictive of swimmer illness.
