Beach sampling is conducted weekly during the swim season, which is between the third week of June and Labor Day. Test results cannot exceed a specified number of bacteria colonies per 100 mL sample. The maximum contaminant level is 104 Enterococci/100 mL of ocean water. If the results exceed 104 Enterococci/100 mL of ocean water, the beach must be closed to swimming after two consecutive unsatisfactory samples have been collected or if sampling cannot occur on the day following a single elevated level is detected according to current regulations.
