Dear Hilary:

Appended is a brief report identifying issues of concern related to the discharge of

secondary and even tertiary treated sewage into shallow coastal waters used for

recreational purposes. I hope this report meets your expectations and will be useful in

HEAL THE OCEAN’s continuing efforts to involve people and improve coastal water

quality.

Sincerely,
