"She said the raw untreated wastewater is gushing into the Sound through an outfall a quarter-mile from shore at a depth of 240 feet at a rate of up to 440 million gallons during each 24-hour period."

Re: Raw sewage pumping into the sound
For the geographically challenged, is Redondo safe to dive this weekend?

Ohh! It is time for the brown trout to make their return to the once pristine waters of the Puget Sound, jewel of Cascadia...
Re: Raw sewage pumping into the sound
I haven't checked in the past few hours but as of this morning the poo warning is all the way down to Alki beach park. Obviously several miles north of Redondo but as we all know, 'it's all connected'...Bric Martin wrote:For the geographically challenged, is Redondo safe to dive this weekend?

Here is updated info from the plant: http://www.kingcounty.gov/depts/dnrp/wt ... ponse.aspx
(If anyone hears warning for Edmonds this weekend, please let me know.)

Re: Raw sewage pumping into the sound
Based on what I have been able to find, they cleared Seacrest (Coves 1 - 3) and Alki Beach yesterday afternoon. For the bypass, King County was apparently only sampling at West Point and to the North (Golden Gardens & Carkeek). Carkeek was above criteria in the most recent report KC posted. From this I would surmise that KC is assuming the discharge will flow north. I would avoid Edmonds & Mulkiteo this weekend.
We should also remember that there are commonly some CSO's during periods of high runoff that can also put high levels of fecal coliform in the Sound.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you understand the situation.

Here is a map of beach closures. Not sure how up-to-date: https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/coastalatla ... osure.aspx
Re: Raw sewage pumping into the sound
We dove at Edmonds yesterday (Sunday) and had no problem. Many people were diving the afternoon slack.
This updated report from Saturday shows the numbers down, even close to the plant: http://www.kingcounty.gov/~/media/depts ... ashx?la=en
