Worcester County Environmental Programs samples ocean side beaches in Worcester County weekly from May - September. Samples are tested for enterococcus bacteria. Results are posted to the county's website at http://www.co.worcester.md.us/departments/enviromentalservices/beaches. A running geometric mean of each site, using a minimum of 5 samples taken over a 30-day period, is calculated. For enterococcus, the geometric mean should not exceed 35 organisms per 100 ml (35 MPN), with no single sample exceeding 104 organisms per 100 ml. Enterococcus serves as the sole indicator for evaluating water quality and determining beach advisories. An advisory is issued for a sampling site, if bacterial levels exceed the above state standards.
