Type: Recreational Water Advisory
Reason: Bacteria
Location: Slaughter Beach
Start Date: 09/01/2015
End Date: 09/02/2015
Description: Recreational Water Advisory
Comments: This recreational water advisory is a caution regarding swimming at Slaughter Beach due to elevated enterococcus indicator bacteria in a recent sample. Slaughter Beach has a robust shorebird population which can contribute to higher levels of fecal indicator bacteria. Re-sampling will be conducted until we receive water quality results that meet swimming water criteria. For more information go to http://apps.dnrec.state.de.us/RecWater/
