What originally started as an effort to chart the compliance efforts and efficiency of the dozens of wastewater treatment facilities and outfall pipes along the coast of California that pump their treated product out into the Pacific Ocean morphed into something much bigger along the way.

In addition to being the first resource that gathers into one place some important, hard-to-find details of California wastewater discharge, the HTO Report and Inventory examines the new threats posed by Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) that escape standard wastewater treatment.

Honorary chair of the event, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, talked about the year in review before about 1,000 guests in attendance and what it means for the environment. "Might I just say, 2009 was a really crap-ass bust of a year," she began. "The economy tanked, we have no health-care bill yet, but there was one bright spot. My dress at the Emmys got some very good press, and might I add, Heal the Ocean had a banner year."
