Marine stations placed near potential pollution sources. Developed areas and marinas ◦ Streams and drainages ◦ Livestock access to water ◦ Areas with limited flushing ◦ Sample for adverse or worse case conditions to be protective of human health ◦ Sample each station 6 – 12 times per year. A minimum of 30 samples per station used for calculation. Fecal coliform (FC) standard is stringent. • ≤ 14 FC/100 mL Geometric mean • ≤ 43 FC/100 mL – Estimated 90th percentile 90% of data are below this number, 10% are above. • Formula uses logs of individual results and standard deviation of dataset. •
