No data were gathered by NRDC for this year. 



Dade County issued 506 warnings against swimming after heavy rains caused 



sewage spills. 



Included in this total are 706 rainfall advisories issued in New Yorit State. 



A beach closing/advisory indicates a single beach for which a closing/advisory has been issued for a single day. "Permanent" 

 closings were for at least the entire summer while extended closings were for more th^n 6 weeks. 



Because of inconsistencies in monitoring and closure practices among states and over time, it is difficutt to make comparisons 

 among states based on the ctosure data.
