Congratulations to South Florida for testing the Waters where the public swims and closing the Beaches due to the pollution we allow to flow into our Oceans.
Dept of Health for Dade County, you are the heroes today.
Not a lot of News exists out there regarding Public Safety and the TMDL program, however Beaches in Dade County Florida were closed due to high levels of fecal coliform and enterococci.

Funny the Dept of Health reopened these beaches in less than 24hours.
Miami News, Fort Lauderdale News, Florida News & Weather Channel 7 Fox Miami WSVN-TV - Local News - Swim advisory lifted for all South Florida beaches
I decided to investigate similar outbreaks that have caused Beaches and Public areas to close after the Health Boards took Water Quality Monitoring Samples in June 2008.
Its not just Florida.
And I found the Mother Load on this site.
Early Warning Inc - Biohazard Outbreaks
What a lot of information on 1 web page. Enjoy.
If we tested all of our Ocean Coastal waters we would be very surprise at the results of high toxins.
Remember to always shower with soap after swimming in Florida’s waterways, for the health of your family.
Water Quality Monitoring needs to be addressed for TMDL in all of our Water Bodies.
