BEACHNET==> Signage for the creeks that run through beaches and are impacted by rain. Do you have an example?

["Schneider, Lynn (DOH)" <Lynn.Schneider@DOH.WA.GOV>]

Hello,

We have a few beaches that have freshwater creeks running through them.
Of course the kids are in the creeks more than the chillier beach water.
A few of these beaches drain from heavily populated, urban watersheds.
We want to put signs up to teach people about the increased bacterial
levels that occasionally occur after a heavy rain. 

If you don't have signs, do you have catch phrases like, "When it rains,
it drains.  Give the creek 48 hours after a rain before playing in the
water."  

Do you post the creek or have auto closures based on rain events?  

Thank you for your help!

Lynn

Subject: BEACHNET==> chemical contamination of beaches

Good afternoon everyone

Is anyone aware of situations where a chemical spill resulted in the
closure of a beach based upon concerns for bather health.

Cheers
