This regulation will implement a consistent water quality monitoring program to help ensure acceptable water quality in designated freshwater natural swimming areas. The regulation will define a bacteriological sample limit for acceptable water quality. It will also establish a consistent routine monitoring schedule for the facilities. The regulation will allow for closure of areas identified as exceeding the defined bacteriological standard. Closed areas will reopen when acceptable water quality is verified.
