Analysis   |   Grades

In 2005-2006, Mendocino County consistently monitored 4 locations including Mackerricher Beach State Park at Virgin Creek, Pudding Creek ocean outlet, Big River near Pacific Coast Highway, and Van Damme State Park at the Little River. The Environmental Health Department with assistance from the Mendocino County Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation monitored sampling locations on a weekly basis from April through October. Data was provided for additional sites that were not included in this report due to limited sampling. These sites will most likely appear in the next Annual Report Card. Water quality at the consistently monitored locations was excellent and all 4 received A grades (Figure 5 and 6).

There was an insufficient amount of non-AB411 dry weather, and wet weather data for further analysis.

Sewage Spill Summary
There were zero (0) reported sewage spills in Mendocino County that led to beach closures.
