On June 14, 2006, the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County hosted a one-day workshop for the review and development of a Spill Clean-up Contingency Plan for potential statewide implementation in California. The program was developed in consultation with the Monitoring and Reporting Subcommittee of the California Beach Water Quality Workgroup. Invitees were asked to participate in discussions regarding: appropriate clean-up contingency plans for sewer spills impacting land areas, including dry channels and beach sands; site clean-up methodologies; monitoring protocols; data interpretation; and public notification strategies.
